Research
In the recent 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, a proportion of the research outputs in all the subject areas submitted were judged to be at the levels of World Leading (4*) and Internationally Excellent (3*).
Research is undertaken in the laboratories at the University's Cavendish site, using state-of-the-art instrumentation. Research is undertaken also in the University Polyclinic. Take a ((virtual tour)) of both areas to experience the environments offered. Experienced and research-active staff in the School work in close collaboration with bio-industry, the NHS, research institutions within the UK, Europe and the US.
Research within the School is grouped into “Research Groups” (see below) and students may register for MPhil and PhD research degrees in full-time or part-time modes. The School has an excellent track record of student success, with the majority of students completing in three to four years.
If you are interested in applying, do take the time to read the profile of a recently graduated PhD student.
