Research in the School of Biosciences centres around four interlinked groupings, which focus on multi and interdisciplinary research. Each theme represents areas of research excellence in human, animal, plant, microbial, cell and molecular biology, and these areas integrate with systems biology and structural biology.

This PhD programme is run by the University’s Department for Life and Environmental Sciences. Over the last five years, 90.9% of our Biosciences postgraduate researchers and 85.3% of taught masters postgraduates were in work and/or further study six months after graduation. The University also has dedicated careers advisors for International students who run workshops and networking opportunities with potential employers. These are especially popular with International postgraduate researchers.
