The University of Birmingham Sci-Phy Programme focuses on research at the interface between chemical, physical, biomedical, engineering and computer science. The programme will train a new generation of scientists as interdisciplinary researchers with a broad skill-base who will be at the forefront of developing physical science to contribute to breakthroughs in biomedical sciences and healthcare.

Students will apply their skills to address three key UK healthcare challenges:

• Cardiovascular disease - the major killer of over 65’s in the UK
• Ageing, a UK healthcare grand challenge
• Trauma -the major killer of under 40s in the UK and over 65’s

Collaborations with 18 industrial companies, several national research institutes and a leading NHS acute Hospital are embedded in the programme to ensure developments have immediate impact on patients.

Applications are open to students that have, or expect to obtain, a good 2:1 (Hons) or 1st class degree (or equivalent EU/overseas degree) in a wide variety of different scientific disciplines including chemistry, physics, computer sciences, materials engineering and natural sciences.

Fully-funded EPSRC studentship (tax-free stipend of £13,863* per annum) available for Home/EU students on this inter-disciplinary four-year programme in Physical Sciences for Health in October 2015. (*subject to inflationary variation).
