Our postgraduate students are a well integrated and fundamental part of the School of Biological, Biomedical and Environmental Sciences, and we pride ourselves on supporting you to make sure that you achieve your full potential. We have developed an international reputation for our research in biomedical science, evolutionary biology, earth science and functional ecology. Our state-of-the-art research facilities include advanced instrumentation such as a new PET Research Centre, automated DNA sequencers, a self-contained ancient DNA laboratory, environmentally controlled tropical and cold water aquarium systems, and a microscopy suite.

We offer MSc by Research and PhD opportunities and we have a network of exceptional research opportunities. An MSc by Research is a postgraduate degree option with more research freedom than the more conventional taught pathways. On this programme, you spend a year on a research project closely advised by your research supervisor. At the end of your project you submit a research thesis, which will be evaluated by a research panel. A PhD, meanwhile is the ultimate form of student-centred learning, allowing you to focus your research interests and make a genuine contribution to science.
