Applications are now open for the 2015 PhD Studentship in Cancer and Genetics Study at Cardiff University in UK; EU, UK and International students are advised to take advantage of the opening and send in their applications.
The Institute of Cancer and Genetics is one Centre within the School of Medicine where students can conduct their research. Full details of all the research areas available can be found through the Medicine (PhD/MPhil/MD) programme.
