Postgraduate Study

"An excellent course that covers the vast breadth of metabolic sciences, including the developmental, epidemiological, genetic, and neuronal basis of metabolic disorders, while setting the groundwork for a PhD through a research project. The course organisers are very supportive and invested in our overall academic development."

“The IMS has been such a welcoming environment in which to explore new areas of research, and I’m so excited to have the chance to carry out my own project and influence its direction. Our small MPhil cohort has definitely benefitted from coming together for lectures and other events as well, allowing us to learn from each other as well as our professors.”

"An amazing program that provides invaluable insights from leading experts in the field of metabolic diseases and offers unparalleled research experience to prepare for the next stage of my PhD studies."
