Biosciences
Postgraduate research students in biosciences are part of a scientific culture in which there are no traditional barriers between research disciplines. Shared expertise and the development of new technologies enable important biological problems to be approached using novel and innovative methods.
Postgraduate opportunities span all fields of biology, from the molecule to the cell, through to the whole organism. Projects are offered from a range of exciting and challenging research themes.
We offer an unrivalled set of training opportunities for all postgraduate research students. No matter what subject area, our researcher development opportunities provide a variety of research and transferable skills, which will be of benefit for the various career paths that bioscience graduates embark on.
