23 PhD programmes in Genetics in United Kingdom

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

The Genetic MPhil, PhD, MD programme from Newcastle University look at the causes of genetic disease. We explore genetic disease at the molecular and cellular level and its treatment.

Throughout the Biomedicine MPhil, PhD, MD programme from Newcastle University we aim to understand the ways disease impacts patients’ lives. We do this by using new diagnostic and therapeutic techniques.

The Cancer and Genetics programme from Cardiff University strategy is to drive research for the benefit of patients affected by cancer and by inherited disease in Wales and beyond.

The Cancer MPhil, PhD, MD programme from Newcastle University scientists and students engaged in cancer research at Newcastle share a common purpose: to improve treatment outcomes for patients with cancer.

This Molecular, Genetic and Lifecourse Epidemiology programme from University of Bristol is an innovative interdisciplinary, four-year, graduate programme within the thriving, inter-disciplinary Bristol Medical School in the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Bristol.

The PhD in Medical Genetics programme at The University of Manchester enables you to undertake a research project that will improve understanding of Medical Genetics.

The Cancer and Genomics programme offered by Swansea University focuses on better understanding the mechanisms of cancer, developing better diagnostic markers, and developing novel therapeutic avenues to improve patient outcomes.

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 Cardiovascular and Medical Sciences programme is offered at the University of Glasgow. Our strength is in identifying and designing novel therapeutic strategies that will lead to clinical trials.

The Institute of Cancer Sciences (ICS) at University of Glasgow is a broad-based, research intensive institution with a global reach. We span fundamental cancer biology, translational and clinical cancer research with a major focus on cancer genomics and disease-specific research. The Cancer Sciences programme is offered at University of Glasgow.

Your research Genetics and Genomics degree is bespoke at the University of Nottingham, and allows you to choose your own area of interest to research, under the title of your choosing.

Research in the School of Biosciences revolves around understanding systems and processes in the living cell. Genetics 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. 

The PhD Genomics programme enables you to undertake a research project in an aspect of genomics that will advance the field. We have many international experts in genomics at The University of Manchester and cutting edge facilities to enable your research.

With this Genetics and Genomics programme at The University of Exeter, research at the cutting-edge of health innovation, making a difference across the world.

The PhD Genetics programme at The University of Manchester enables you to undertake a research project that will improve understanding of Genetics.

Each organism, whether animal, plant or microbe, is defined by its genome and this same information can be used by us to investigate wide ranging biological phenomena and even alter biology itself through the production of transgenic organisms. We offer a Biological Sciences (Functional and Comparative Genomics) degree at the University of Liverpool.

Genome Stability at the University of Sussex investigates the responses of cells to genome damage and their relationship to cancer and other aspects of human disease.

The recent completion of the human genome project has afforded new and exciting avenues for research that define the genetic basis for human disease. We offer a Genetics, Epigenetics and Epidemiology degree at the Keele University.

The Genetics course from the University of Cambridge, covers a wide spectrum of biological problems, united by the application of genetics tools and approaches. Research themes range from understanding basic mechanisms in cell biology relating to the mechanics of division, to aspects of population biology focused on issues of ecological and evolutionary significance.
