Overview
The studentship includes:
- Free access to two online, self-led programming courses: 'R for Biochemists 101' and 'Practical Python for beginners: a Biochemist’s guide', with support from course moderators.
- Access to a bespoke webinar programme focusing on transferable skills, employability, and careers.
Students will have access to the online courses for 8 weeks from the start of each course, which can be completed in their own time. The courses will be moderated for 4 weeks from the start of each course during July and August 2024.
