Your Cellular and Developmental Biology research degree from University of Nottingham is bespoke and allows you to choose your own area of interest to research, under the title of your choosing.

Conduct research at the cutting edge of the discipline, working alongside a team of specialist academic advisors with the Published Works in Biological Sciences course from University of Plymouth.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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

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. 

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

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 Biology programme offered by Birkbeck, University of London explores living systems and molecular mechanisms through laboratory-based investigation, advancing understanding of organisms, cells, microbes, and biophysical processes.

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 School of Biological Sciences has a global reputation for empirical and experimental research in biological and environmental sciences, spanning from gene to global scales, from deep in the earth and sea to high altitude, and from the Arctic to the Antarctic. We offer a Biological and Environmental Sciences degree at the University of Aberdeen. 

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.
