Course summary

Our postgraduate research activity is managed through Biological Sciences Graduate School, a dynamic research environment that allows students to develop their individual skills, essential for a successful scientific career.

As is usual in UK universities, you would register initially for an MPhil award. However the majority of our postgraduate students will later transfer to a PhD.

Our programmes provide an integrated series of training modules to help you develop your professional and personal skills as well as your scientific expertise.

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.
