107 PhD programmes in Biology in England, United Kingdom

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 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.

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 the School of Biosciences revolves around understanding systems and processes in the living cell. The Computational Biology programme at University of Kent has a strong molecular focus with leading-edge activities that are synergistic with one another and complementary to the teaching provision. 

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 MRC Centre for Developmental Neurobiology programme offered by King's College London investigates brain formation, neural development, and the biological mechanisms underlying neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions.

The PhD in Cell Matrix Research programme at The University of Manchester enables you to undertake a research project that will improve understanding of the interactions between cells and their extracellular matrix environment in the contexts of health, disease and tissue regeneration.

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. 

The Biology course at the University of Bath is renowned for its broad range of world-leading and internationally excellent research on animals, plants and microorganisms.

The School of Life Sciences at University of Westminster occupies modern laboratories in the heart of London with excellent facilities supporting cutting edge research in a number of disciplines including: molecular and cellular biology, fermentation and biotechnology, and human health and performance. The University of Westminster and its courses are located in London.

The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at The University of Manchester offers this PhD degree in Bioarchaeology.

The PhD Bio-Statistics from University of Essex is an advanced research degree within the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Science. The biostatistics team carries out research in statistical analysis, such as survival analysis, longitudinal analysis, Bayesian statistics, analysis of biological and behavioural data and spatial statistics, with collaboration areas.

Plant Biosystems Design is jointly administered by the Universities of Bristol, University of Cambridge and York, and the John Innes Centre. It aims to catalyse interdisciplinary partnerships and drive innovation in the application of engineering principles to plant biology and biotechnology.

The Generative Biology programme offered by University of Oxford is designed to train doctoral researchers in cutting-edge areas of generative biology.

This prestigious Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) funded Doctoral Landscape Award will support the next generation of researchers equipping them with the skills for careers in academia, industry, policy and civic society and developing the UK bioeconomy. The BBSRC Yorkshire Bioscience programme is offered at University of York.

The Biological Anthropology from University of Cambridge, is an opportunity for original research leading to a thesis within a structured research environment that encourages both independence and collaboration. 

Molecular Biology (Postgraduate Research) PhD students at 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.

Cell Biology at University of Liverpool encompasses research of the cell and its organelles' structural and functional roles, physiology, signalling, cell stress, cell communications, and its applications to the diagnosis and therapy of disease. 

The Biosciences programme offered by Durham University addresses food security, industrial sustainability, antimicrobial resistance, and climate change impacts on living systems.

The Biology programme offered by Anglia Ruskin University explores biodiversity, ecology, animal behaviour, welfare, and environmental change, enabling researchers to investigate biological systems and their responses to natural and human-driven pressures.
