We expect graduates of this programme to be able to apply the skills and expertise learnt from the programme to develop careers in academia, clinical research, public and global health care, government and non-governmental organisations. Two recent graduates are currently doctoral candidates on the UCL ESRC Soc-b biosocial training programme.
