Description
The aim of the Cardiovascular Biology course is to provide broadly-based training in biomedical research with a focus on cardiovascular science.

* be able to plan, execute and report their research work and place it in the context of the relevant literature;
* be able to accurately report the work already done and its significance.
Contents
Students will attend research seminars and tutorials led by senior clinical and basic scientists, conduct research in the context of multidisciplinary research groups in internationally renowned laboratories and develop their communication skills through delivering slide presentations and writing reports and a dissertation.
Requirements
The programme is intended for high-calibre students with a biological science, medical or veterinary background. The programme serves as an excellent introduction to research in the UK for overseas students intending to proceed to a PhD in this country. Students should therefore have a minimum of a 2:1 honours degree in a relevant biological discipline (or a medical/veterinary qualification) or its equivalent if outside the UK, and have a good grasp of written and spoken English.
