MPhil/PhD Biological Sciences

Our programmes provide an integrated series of training modules to help you develop your professional and personal skills as well as your scientific expertise. However the majority of our postgraduate students will later transfer to a PhD.

Your research work will be closely supervised and supported, particularly in the early months. At intervals during your project, you will be expected to demonstrate to our academic staff that your work is progressing well and likely to achieve a successful outcome. If you have a sponsor, such as a UK Research Council or an overseas government, this is also an assurance that they will expect.
