Current Students
"There are great opportunities for a PhD student in Anatomy at NUI Galway. The facilities and expertise from both the academic and technical staff are of the highest standard, making research in Anatomy an exciting and dynamic choice of study. During my PhD I have had the chance to travel worldwide to present my research at conferences and work with collaborators to learn new techniques in MRI acquisition and analysis in Neuroanatomy, which is at the core of my research. As a PhD student, there is a wide range of modules available to study which have supported my research and enhanced my career prospects."
