Doctoral Training Partnership in Biomedical Sciences

Our Doctoral Training Partnership

Located in the heart of London, King’s College London and our associated NHS partner hospitals provide a vibrant and globally recognised biomedical research community. Our integrated and multi-disciplinary approach to medical research provides a wealth of cutting edge training opportunities in fundamental discovery science, translational research and experimental medicine.

Our students undertake projects from across all our Health Faculties in areas as diverse as: structural biology, drug development, in vivo imaging, population genetics and clinical trials. The cohort-focused philosophy of our programme ensures that our graduates experience the diversity of our science, learn how to collaborate and think creatively, and leave King’s equipped to tackle key biomedical challenges of a rapidly changing world.

We have a distinguished history in biomedicine and continue to be at the centre of cutting-edge discovery and applied research. Innovation and cross-discipline collaboration sit at the heart of our postgraduate research programmes. Our International reputation as a centre of outstanding scholarship continues to grow.

Training Community

Our students drive the growth of the DTP. The enthusiasm of our students to deliver project engagement activities, lead social events, share research, and contribute to the wider programme with the support of our academic and managerial team is a real strength of the the DTP. We champion a student-led approach ensuring that student feedback informs the evaluation and development of activities.
