Angelo
USA
Dentistry & Oral Science (Research Division) MPhil/PhD
Before becoming a PhD student at King's, I was a research assistant in the Dental Institute working among the faculty. I found the environment and employment opportunities at King's particularly attractive so I applied and was awarded a PhD studentship for which I am very grateful.
The best part of studying here is the great deal of freedom to work on my project and thesis. When I have finished my thesis, I hope to either continue working at King's or pursue a career at an NGO and utilise my new skills to help people in need.

Eva
Spain
Dentistry & Oral Science (Research Division) MPhil/PhD
I graduated in biology and biochemistry in Spain and soon became very interested in research. I chose King's College London for my graduate studies because it is one of the most prestigious universities in England. In addition, the craniofacial development department, within which I work, is at the forefront of research with a very strong record. The work environment in my department is very stimulating. There are frequent keynote speakers giving seminars, lots of optional courses and interactions with other students.
The Marie Curie Fellowship Association promotes mobility within Europe, encouraging young researchers to study their PhD abroad, and I am fortunate to have my PhD funded through a fellowship from them. I obtained this fellowship though King's and believe it is a great opportunity.
I am very fond of London and studying at King's has the benefit of being centrally located. The location of the campuses is really good. I work in Guy's Campus and I really enjoy being in the centre.

Jose
Venezuela
Dentistry & Oral Science (Research Division) MPhil/PhD
I am doing a PhD supported by a grant from Guy's and St Thomas' Charity as part of my clinical academic training as a dentist. I chose to study at King's because they offered the possibility of doing a clinically based PhD which benefits from a world renowned research environment. I truly enjoy living in London with all it has to offer, and being at King's has given me the chance to project my research at national and international level.
After I finish my studies I plan to apply for a lecturer post, hopefully being able to do specialist training at the same time. The skills and publications that I will gain while obtaining my PhD will make me more competitive when applying for these posts. I truly recommend studying here.
At King's you are given very good support and you are based in London, one of the best cities in the world. I have a great relationship with my supervisors and laboratory staff, and we socialise quite often. I'm at Guy's campus, so the location is great as you are across from the City and Borough Market is a stone's throw away. New Hunt's House has a fantastic library and the services they offer are very, very good.
Other advantages of being in London are the culture, concerts, exhibitions, great nightlife, amazing history, jogging in Hyde Park, rollerblading by the Embankment. This city rules!

Karolin
Italy
Dentistry & Oral Science (Research Division) MPhil/PhD
I chose to do my PhD at King's because the proposed research project builds upon my previous research experience in molecular biology. Furthermore, I am qualified in dentistry, and this was a great opportunity to carry out research in the Dental Institute with its outstanding reputation.
An added advantage of this project is that it is part of a large network programme funded by the EU, and will allow working visits to laboratories of consortium members. Moreover, this PhD involves the presentation of my scientific progress in national and international conferences; the most interesting so far has been in South Africa.
I am enjoying the multicultural life of London, along with all its famous tourist attractions. Studying in a large city like London is particularly interesting for me, as I completed my dental degree at Siena University, located in a very small city in Tuscany, Italy.
I see myself as a researcher who does some clinical work, rather than the other way around, so doing a PhD is an essential part of my future career path. Motivation and passion are what keeps you going. So even if experiments might not work in the short term, in the long term this can be a very rewarding field.

Nicolas
France
Dentistry & Oral Science (Research Division) MPhil/PhD
One of the reasons I chose King's College London for my research studies was its high reputation and excellent academic and research credentials. When I was in France, I was looking for a PhD position abroad, and I immediately grasped the opportunity to go to King's when a position was offered to me. What I found particularly attractive about studying at King's was the environment within which I would be working, and also the fact that I would be doing my PhD in London, which I personally believe is one of the most interesting cities to live in.
So far my PhD has been a very interesting experience. I have learned a great deal and improved my skills through my research, the various courses organised by the department I work in and the King's graduate skills development programme. My funding comes from the EU Marie Curie Fellowship. This fund helps a great deal of PhD students like myself in a variety of countries within Europe. After completing my PhD, I plan to stay in research. If there was one piece of advice I would give to prospective students considering study, it would be to go for it and consider King's as a good option, as it provides good facilities and courses to enhance your skills.

Lucy Di Silvio
Dentistry & Oral Science (Research Division) MPhil/PhD
'My main research interests and activities include the natural processes of tissue repair, in particular, the application of cell-engineered repair systems for bone and cartilage using stem cells and other cells.
In addition, the use of growth factors for tissue engineering, drug delivery systems and biomaterials for muscular-skeletal repair.
I teach undergraduates and postgraduates and also frequently have foreign students and researchers visit the department.'
