Postgraduate Research

Research opportunities include doctoral programmes working towards a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), whilst clinically trained students have the option of a Doctor of Medicine (DM) programme (additional entry criteria apply). In addition we offer a four-year integrated PhD in Biomedical Science for which a number of studentships are available.

Our postgraduate programmes are delivered in multidisciplinary divisions, ranging from Cancer Sciences and Human Genetics to the study of the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease. Particular strengths are respiratory disease, nutrition and development, cancer sciences, and bone and joint disease, in addition to cross-divisional themes including stem cells and regeneration, and translational immunology.

As a postgraduate student you will join a community at the forefront of basic science and translational research both within the School of Medicine and as part of the Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Sciences. You will work with and be supervised by cutting edge clinicians and scientists and will be able to share professional and social time with the Life Sciences Postgraduate Society and the School’s lively postdoctoral association.
