Meet our Students

Our MRC DTP students come from a range of backgrounds. We work closely with our cohorts to drive the growth of the DTP, and value the importance of training and socialising within a cohort to enhance the students experience. We champion a student-led approach ensuring that student feedback informs the evaluation and development of activities.
