Biology
Students entering the Biology programme from Maynooth University will be under the supervision of an experienced researcher. All academic staff members in the Biology Department are experienced and active researchers and can supervise PhD students.

Biology
The Department of Genetics and Genome Biology at the University of Leicester offers research supervision for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Biology.

Biological Sciences
The Biological Sciences at the University of Reading is the investigation of the web of life, from cellular processes to whole organisms, including how they interact with one other and the environment.

Life Sciences (Integrated)
Environmental factors influence our health and wellbeing, as well as affect ecosystems and wildlife. An intimate understanding of such factors – chemical substances, for example, or changes in radiation or temperature – is urgently needed to better understand disease trends in humans and adverse effects on wildlife. Life Sciences (Integrated) is offered at Brunel University of London.

Biosciences
Research in Biosciences from Cardiff University ranges across the biological sciences, from the understanding of precisely how neurons grow, to the mechanisms of cancer and other diseases, the molecular basis of animal and plant development and exploring the genetics of orang-utans, elephants, pandas and other endangered species.

Biology and Ecology of Global Changes
The PhD Programme in Biology and Ecology of Global Changes is a co-tutoring PhD programme between Universidade de Aveiro (Portugal) and the University of Lisbon (Portugal), with the participation of the Federal University of Tocantins (Brasil) and the University of Brasilia (Brasil).
