To be finalised at the end of year 1

所有学生都将与英国食品系统学院合作，共同设计自己的研究项目，这是学生与导师和核心项目思想（项目核心）的门户。在一年级早期，学生将从项目核心目录中进行选择，这将构成他们与潜在导师轮换的基础。在轮换之后，论文提案将与食品系统学院的合作伙伴一起在为期两天的项目和论文提案强化研讨会上完成。博士研究课题将在第一年末定稿，并将在第二年初启动。

All students will be engaged in the co-design of their own research projects in collaboration with the UK Food Systems Academy which is the gateway for students to supervisors and core project ideas (project kernels). Early in Year 1, students will select from a catalogue of project kernels that will form the basis of their rotations with potential supervisors. Following the rotations, thesis proposals will be finalised in a capstone two-day Project and Thesis Proposal Intensive Workshop with partners from the Food System Academy. PhD research projects topics will be finalised at the end of year 1, and will initiate at the beginning of year 2.
