Doctoral Training Partnerships in the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences

We are a member of several doctoral training programmes and partnerships in the health and life sciences, covering a range of research areas including clinical pharmacology, musculoskeletal ageing and cellular and molecular physiology.

Doctoral Network in Technologies for Healthy Ageing

The University of Liverpool Doctoral Network in Technologies for Healthy Ageing is training the next generation of physical scientists and engineers to develop novel technologies and devices to address the challenges faced by older people and our clinical colleagues who work with them.

Adapting to the Challenges of a Changing Environment (NERC)

ACCE is funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). The academic partners are University of Liverpool, University of Sheffield, University of York, the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology and the Natural History Museum. ACCE provides doctoral training in the biological components of the natural environment and related disciplines. ACCE has a clear emphasis on the biological component of environmental research. This biological core, combined with the international standing of the partners in the biological and related fields, makes ACCE an ideal choice if you wish to undertake a PhD in biological research and related disciplines.

Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC)

This doctoral training partnership is a collaboration between the University of Liverpool, Newcastle University and Durham University. The partnership provides an opportunity for the next generation of young researchers to address outstanding scientific questions in the biosciences.

Discover Medicine North (DiMeN)

The Discovery Medicine North (DiMeN) partnership is funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC). It utilises the combined expertise of four world-leading institutions to train the next generation of researchers to tackle the major health problems facing the population.

Trials Methodology Research Partnership (TMRP )

This Doctoral Training Partnership presents a unique opportunity to undertake training and research in major areas where clinical trials need to be improved to help increase the health of society. Projects encompass a variety of subject areas including statistics, mathematics, health economics, epidemiology, psychology, social science, computer science, informatics and health services research.
