The Welsh School of Pharmacy are delighted to host an exciting
new PhD Programme that is supported by Cardiff University's
prestigious President's Research Scholarship Scheme from 2010-13.
The Award is for drug discovery and development. The Scheme will
appeal to students with a science background who have a multi-disciplinary
interest in the development of new pharmaceuticals. Each student
will be based primarily in one of our partner schools; Pharmacy,
Psychology, Medicine and Chemistry but links with other partners
will be strong. The doctoral programme will be structured to include
a focussed research training element in year 1, comprising specialist
lectures and workshops, and laboratory visits.
