ARC NWC PhD Students

ARC NWC have funded 30+ PhD studentships, providing individuals with the opportunity to undertake doctoral research at our Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), aimed at addressing regional or national priorities in applied health research. The research our PhDs students are undertaking is aligned to an ARC NWC theme, involves co-production with patients and service users, and considers health inequalities. See the links below to meet our PhD students and read about their research.
