Study
The Cardiovascular Division is one of the largest Research Divisions within the Health Schools of King's College London with over 70 PhD/MD students focused on the mechanisms and treatment of cardiovascular disease.
Cardiovascular Research MSc
The Division offers an MSc in Cardiovascular Research, which builds on the strength of King's BHF Centre of Research Excellence, which has the remit of training in cardiovascular research as part of it's mission.
The programme provides graduates with advanced theoretical and practical training in the cardiovascular system in health and disease that will enable them to progress to further research, such as undertaking a PhD.
The programme consists of lectures, seminars and a large practical component. The latter provides personal experience of experimental studies using a wide variety of techniques as well as a significant research project.
