Postgraduate Study

The School of Genetics and Microbiology provides master and doctoral training through a structured programme of research and study. The core component of a structured PhD programme is the advancement of knowledge through original research. Through conducting research, engaging in associated research-related activities and attending courses our PhD students are supported in their development of a range of skills that meet the needs of an employment market that is wider than academia. The high quality research experience, training and outputs are consistent with international norms and best practice

If you wish to undertake a Ph.D. with us you must, in the first instance, identify a supervisor who is willing to take you on. Details of research projects are available from individual members of our academic staff.

Postgraduate training in our school is almost exclusively by research. However, in conjunction with the School of Medicine, Genetics also offers a taught Masters - MSc in Genomic Medicine.
