Course summary
Research at Worcester has grown significantly in the last 10 years as the University itself has expanded. As a research student you will join a vibrant student community in our Research School and become part of our dynamic research environment. Offered on a full-time or part-time basis (maximum of 6 years). Students are allocated an appropriate study pathway, based on their research experience and background. All students are offered a wide range of optional training workshops throughout the programme. Our staff have expertise in comparative zoology, ecosystem modelling, conservation, invertebrate biology, animal behaviour, physiological and behavioural ecology, animal welfare, ecological monitoring and modelling techniques. You will be able to apply to our Research Student Support Scheme for some funding for this purpose. After receiving your application, we try to establish if we have the necessary expertise to supervise your project and we begin to form a supervisory team for you. This will normally consist of a Director of Studies (DoS), who will be your lead supervisor, and at least one other supervisor, who will offer you additional support and guidance throughout your studies.
