Study with us
Education is an essential and integral part of the Aberdeen Cardiovascular & Diabetes Centre. It is one of the impact streams which underpin our mission.
By providing an educational environment centred on patient needs in cardiovascular disease and diabetes, training the next generation of researchers (clinical and non-clinical) with a new perspective on cardiovascular and diabetic research will lead to a shift towards a translationally focussed approach.
We have 2 programmes delivered within our centre:
Masters in Science (MSc) in Cardiovascular Science & Diabetes (1 year)
PhD in Cardiovascular Science & Diabetes research (3-4 years)
Masters in Science (MSc) in Cardiovascular Science & Diabetes
Our programme will provide you with a leading-edge view of cardiovascular and metabolic science through delivery of a research-led and clinically-focussed teaching experience that includes a laboratory research project supervised by leading cardiovascular and diabetes science researchers. This research project will be at the cutting edge of cardiovascular and diabetes research. The clinical relevance of the programme is directly strengthened by the location of the teaching, with Aberdeen Royal Hospital on site, and by the input of cardiovascular and diabetes clinicians into our MSc training programme.
