254 PhD programmes in Biology in Europe

In the Cell Engineering program from University of Glasgow, we are focused on fostering education and training in research to develop microenvironments to investigate and instruct cellular behaviour including, but not solely, stem cell differentiation. 

The international programme on Wood Biology and Technology offered at The University of Göttingen, is a three year study which leads to a Doctoral degree. The intensive, research oriented Ph.D. programme is taught by internationally respected scientists.

Research in our Cell and Molecular Biology at University of Essex covers a wide spectrum of biology from genes to ecosystems, and this broad-based structure provides opportunities for developing novel ideas and inter-disciplinary projects.

Our academic staff of Biological Sciences at University of Essex have expertise in biophysics, biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, molecular medicine, environmental microbiology, photosynthesis, plant productivity, ecology, marine and environmental science.

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at The University of Manchester is one of the largest and most active physics departments in the UK. We have a long tradition of excellence in both teaching and research, and have interests in most areas of contemporary research. The department offers this PhD in Biological Physics.

The PhD Mathematical Biology at University of Essex uses novel mathematical and computational techniques to solve problems in the biological, ecological and environmental sciences.

The Quantitative Biosciences Munich course from Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) Munich aims at preparing young life scientists for the new era of quantitative, systems-oriented bioscience.

The Molecular Biology, Genetics and Bioengineering programme offered at Sabanci University has ten faculty members who conduct research on modern biological problems.

The Doctoral Program in Molecular Life Sciences (EDMS) at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne trains doctoral students to become leaders in biological research.

The Microbiology (Postgraduate Research) PhD students from University of Wolverhampton are provided with expert supervision and extensive training opportunities from the Faculty, maximising potential for their research in Microbiology

Research in our Environmental Biology at University of Essex covers a wide spectrum of biology from genes to ecosystems, and this broad-based structure provides opportunities for developing novel ideas and inter-disciplinary projects.

The Institute of Biological Chemistry, Biophysics and Bioengineering at Heriot-Watt University is focused on applying advances in the chemical, physical, and engineering sciences to enable and enhance life science research.

The University of Freiburg offers a dynamic interdisciplinary training Biology and Medicine program that prepares students for future scientific challenges.

The branch of study Biomaterials and Biocomposites at Tomas Bata University in Zlín is aimed at research and development of the technologies with controlled interactions with living organisms/objects.

The postgraduate research students of the Biological Sciences (Postgraduate Research) programme offered by the University of Wolverhampton are supervised by academics who are leading experts in their particular area of expertise. At least one academic in each supervisory team will have a track record of successful supervisions.

This Biology PhD degree from University of Pisa brings together a range of disciplines to understand life at all levels of biological organization in a wide variety of organisms, including viruses, bacteria, protists animals, plants and humans.  

This Biomolecular Chemistry and Bioinformatics programme from Masaryk University includes knowledge about the structure of biologically important bio(macro)molecules (proteins nucleic acids, oligosaccharides, etc.), and the relation between their structure and biological function. 

The PhD Program in RNA Biology at ETH Zurich - Swiss Federal Institute of Technology is a coordinated, interdisciplinary and interinstitutional PhD Program in the field of RNA biology.

In the Evolutionary Analysis program from University of Glasgow, we address a broad range of fundamental and applied evolutionary problems via the identification and analysis of genetic and phenotypic variability underlying biodiversity at all taxonomic levels, from viruses to vertebrates.

The Life Sciences degree at University of Roehampton aims to provide its research students with the opportunity to study in a stimulating, responsive, supportive environment, which fosters independent, critical thinking.
