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，这是学生了解主管和核心项目想法（项目内核）的门户。在第一年的早些时候，学生将从项目内核目录中进行选择，这些内核将构成他们与潜在主管轮换的基础。在轮换之后，论文提案将在为期两天的项目和论文提案密集研讨会中与食品系统学院的合作伙伴一起完成。博士研究项目主题将在第1年年底完成，并将在第2年年初启动。

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.
