Biomedical Science - Immunity and Infection (Integrated) PhD

University of Southampton

Our four year Integrated PhD in Biomedical Science - Immunity and Infection degree has been designed to produce the next generation of leaders in immunity and infection research, some of the major research strengths of the University of Southampton. The PhD degree programme provides broad training in the intellectual and practical basis of scientific research as well as a focused individual research experience. The combination of a choice of laboratory rotations and a three year project offers an enhanced student experience to better prepare you for a career in scientific research.

Each student will have a clearly identified supervisor who will provide guidance and support in both the practical and theoretical elements of the project. Students will need to utilise appropriate research techniques to address a clear research question. In addition, students will be expected to develop a good understanding of the published literature within the field of study.

Assessment of the project will be through a written research report of 5000 words.
