Admission Requirements

7+

To apply for our Life Sciences PhD research degree you should have, or expect to be awarded, a Masters degree in a relevant Life Science area at British or overseas university.

Exceptional applicants without a Master's degree, but holding a first class or high second class Bachelors degree in Biomedical Science or Biomedical Engineering, may be considered dependent upon the academic coherence and promise of their research proposal, and its consonance with the academic expertise of the college.

Please send us an initial PhD enquiry containing your brief PhD research proposal (1500 words), and/or any questions or queries you may have. You’ll notice that it asks you whether you’ve thought about potential supervisors. You may wish to contact one of our members of academic staff to discuss a potential project, and you are encouraged to do this. Applications, however, should be sent through official channels, beginning with the initial enquiry form.

We will review your initial enquiry to ensure your research proposal compliments one of our PhD research interests and you will be invited for an interview.
