573 PhD programmes in Natural Sciences & Mathematics in United Kingdom

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at 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. This PhD in Particle Physics is offered at The University of Manchester.

The Biostatistics programme offered by King's College London investigates statistical modelling, health data integration, and computational techniques that support precision and evidence-based medicine.

The Computational Physics programme at University of Lincoln offers the opportunity to work with specialists in the field and the chance to develop strong national and international collaborations.

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.

The Physics Research programme offered by King's College London investigates fundamental physical phenomena and emerging technologies through theoretical, computational, and experimental research across diverse areas of modern physics.

Research in the School of Biosciences revolves around understanding systems and processes in the living cell. It has a strong molecular focus with leading-edge activities that are synergistic with one another and complementary to the teaching provision.

The Mathematics MPhil/PhD programme from The University of Exeter brings together our internationally leading research in several areas of pure mathematics, applied mathematics and statistics, including number theory, arithmetic geometry, geophysical and astrophysical fluid dynamics, dynamical systems, control theory, statistical forecasting and uncertainty quantification.

At University of Glasgow, our portfolio covers many aspects of Parasitology research from molecules to cells and whole organisms to populations. 

Our Applied Photonics at University of Glasgow is an alternative to a traditional PhD aimed at students looking for a career in industry. Students spend about 75% of time working directly with a company in addition to receiving advanced-level training from a broad portfolio of technical and business courses.

Understanding the ecology and evolution of life on Earth is a fundamental research challenge and of central importance for most areas of the environmental sciences. This Ecology and Evolution programme is offered at The University of Manchester.

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

The Biological Sciences programme offered by Aberystwyth University develops advanced expertise in living systems, agricultural innovation, and environmental sustainability.

The Department of Chemistry at The University of Manchester has particular strengths in biological chemistry and organic synthesis, computational and theoretical chemistry and materials chemistry (inorganic and polymer). It offers this degree in Inorganic Chemistry.

The DPhil in Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics at the University of Oxford provides students with a wide range of research topics within a large multi-disciplinary and world-renowned department, spanning a diverse spectrum of research areas from neuroscience, cardiac science, ion channels transporters and signalling, metabolism and endocrinology, development and reproduction to functional genomics.

In the Physics programme at the University of Nottingham, we conduct internationally leading research in a wide range of experimental and theoretical areas of physics and astronomy. Explore our research groups below to see what opportunities we can offer.

The Pharmaceutical Discovery, Development and Use programme offered by King's College London provides joint doctoral training across pharmaceutical sciences, medicines development, and clinical application.

Around a third of all currently approved drugs target G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), making these receptors the most successful drug target in history. We offer a Molecular Pharmacology degree at the University of Glasgow.

The Biochemistry programme from University of Cambridge students are based in a research group and undertake a research project agreed with the principal investigator (supervisor). Each student also has additional mentorship support from an advisor and a Postgraduate Thesis Panel.

In the Infectious Disease programme from University of Glasgow we take a highly interdisciplinary approach to the study of infectious disease that combines mathematical and statistical modelling with ecology, evolutionary biology, parasitology, immunology and bioinformatics and the social sciences.
