The programme has been carefully designed to equip college graduates with the key research skills and experiences to allow them to begin building successful careers in biomedical research.

The forthcoming cycle of this ten-month training programme will run from 1 September 2024 until 27 June 2025. Participating graduates will work alongside WCM-Q’s world-leading research scientists in the college’s laboratories and will gain practical laboratory skills, research administration skills, and knowledge of how to conduct clinical research projects.
