Advance your expertise in human health and become equipped with the essential skills to research the body’s complex processes with the Institute of Metabolism and Systems Research course at the University of Birmingham. 

Within this Biosciences PhD programme from Newcastle University you'll use traditional bioscience disciplines to investigate steps from genotype to phenotype.

University of Bristol's Engineering Biology programme is an emerging field at the confluence of Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, AI and Data Science. 

The Great Western Four and Doctoral Training Partnership comprises the University of Bristol, University of Bath, Cardiff University, University of Exeter, British Antarctic Survey, British Geological Survey, Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, the Natural History Museum and Plymouth Marine Laboratory.

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.

In this Biology and Biomaterials PhD at the University of Brighton you will join our researchers as they examine and innovate in the structure, design and functional performance of natural and synthetically derived pure and composite biomaterials with diagnostic or therapeutic impact on living systems.

Contribute to research focusing on finding solutions to a range of chronic inflammation-driven illnesses through a highly collaborative approach with the Inflammation and Ageing course at University of Birmingham.

As a student in the Veterinary Medicine and Science programme at the University of Surrey you’ll work alongside academic staff with different areas of interest and expertise. These include applied clinical research, fundamental science, inherited and infectious diseases and pathology.

Unlock your potential with the Biosciences programme from University of Birmingham, where you'll explore cutting-edge research in human, animal, plant, microbial, cell, and molecular biology guided by top experts in one of the UK's leading Biosciences schools.

This Biosciences degree from the University of Gloucestershire will enable you to undertake cutting-edge scientific research in a supportive and caring environment. 

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.

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.

This Biology PhD programme from Newcastle University research projects in our three main research areas of biodiversity and conservation, agri-environment, and microbiology.

The Quantum Biology PhD programme at the University of Surrey offers a unique opportunity to explore the fascinating interface between quantum physics and biology, with the potential to uncover new insights into the fundamental principles of life and advance technologies in fields such as medicine, biotechnology, and beyond.

Our Biosciences academics at Brunel University of London are internationally renowned scientists in their fields of expertise and are involved in making major advances and breakthroughs in human diseases and syndromes, including breast, prostate and skin cancer, leukaemia, progeria (premature ageing), tuberculosis, malaria, aspergillus infection, trinucleotide repeat diseases and normal ageing. 

The overall aim of the Synthetic Biology degree offered at Brunel University of London is to address major environmental, health and societal challenges by engineering biological systems such that they display functions that do not exist in nature, as well as re-designing existing biological systems so that they perform new functions. 

The Biological Science course from Lancaster University offers a phd degree in Biological Science. A great strength of LEC is its ability to share expertise and ideas from many disciplines in order to provide a flexible approach, which is so important in the dynamic, rapidly developing discipline of environmental science.  

On this Biological Sciences PhD course from University of East Anglia postgraduate researchers have opportunities to work at the heart of active research teams, challenging boundaries and making real advances.

This South West Biosciences Doctoral Training Partnership is led by the University of Bristol, together with the Universities of Bath, Cardiff and Exeter, alongside Rothamsted Research.

This Biosciences and Medicine MD course offered at the University of Surrey will give you the chance to contribute to a fast-paced area of research that's becoming increasingly relevant to modern society.
