An innovative 0+4 PhD programme, designed to cultivate multidisciplinary research skills and help promising talent to reach their full potential. This unique approach involves two rotation projects in different research groups, in alignment with the research themes of the Roger Williams Institute of Liver Studies (RW-ILS). This ensures exposure to different disciplines and allows students to gain a better overall picture of the scientific nature of the Institute and the different technologies that are available.

At the conclusion of the second rotation, students have the chance to select their final PhD project and laboratory through a collaborative process with their supervisor, ensuring a perfect fit for research interests.

As a part of this comprehensive training programme, students will engage in courses focused on transferable research skills through King’s Doctoral College, including both live and online training sessions, alongside dedicated one-on-one support. The Roger Williams Institute of Liver Studies weekly Seminar Series will enable students to present their research and network with industry leaders and fellow students, enhancing their academic communication skills. Additionally, opportunities to participate in national and international scientific meetings will further enrich their experience.
