This is an excellent programme where the rotations allow you to see a variety of different labs and learn a range of techniques before settling into a PhD.

Ruth Mitchell, current student, Wellcome Trust PhD Dynamic Cell Biology

I'm extremely thankful to the University of Bristol and NHSBT for putting on such a well organised course with enthusiastic lecturers and challenging content

Paul A Wright, graduate, MSc Transfusion and Transplantation Sciences

I felt it bridged the gap between a BSc and a PhD well. Being able to visit laboratories such as Eli Lilly provided an experience of industry in addition to working in the University.

Elliot Mocharrafie, graduate (2012), MRes Systems Neuroscience

The postgraduate community is very friendly so it's easy to make lots of friends, even if you've not been here for your undergraduate course.
