PhD research programmes

We offer a range of research areas for study at PhD level.

Our approach ranges from molecules to man, from bench to bedside and from process to population. Our Centres and Institutes bring together basic and clinical academic staff in broad, thematic research concentrations encompassing basic sciences, translational and clinical research.

There are opportunities to obtain a place on funded PhD programmes, listed below, or for students to apply to one of our PhD programmes and to independently seek scholarship funding to fund their studies.
