Postgraduate Opportunities
Postgraduate training plays an integral part in IFR's culture of encouraging both learning and knowledge transfer across its user communities; we offer PhD students a stimulating 3-4 year 'period of study' which prepares them well for a career within or outside the research community.
Being based on the Norwich Research Park gives students the added advantage of easy access to student life on the University of East Anglia's campus.
All students are required to complete the 'Professional Skills for Research Scientists' training programme, designed and run by the UEA Science Group, as part of their own personal development, to improve their future career prospects, to complement their scientific training and in accordance with the Joint Statement of the Research Councils' / Arts and Humanities Research Board's Skills Training Requirements for Research Students.
Why choose the Institute of Food Research?
- Postgraduate students are supervised as members of small interactive research teams by supervisors with international reputations in their fields.
