PhD Research Studentships in Biomedical Science

The department offers full time PhD research projects in the fields of Developmental Biology, Cell Biology, Physiology & Pharmacology, Neuroscience, Models of Human Disease and Regenerative Medicine. Studentships are offered as standard three or four year PhD programmes, or as a PhD with Integrated Studies, depending on the source of supported funding.

We are able to support UK and EU-based students with funding from the MRC, BBSRC and other charities. We also welcome applications from excellent students of any nationality who have independent funding or who wish to compete for scholarships that they have identified.

Entry requirements
