573 PhD programmes in Natural Sciences & Mathematics in United Kingdom

This Biochemistry course at the University of Oxford is taking part in a continuing pilot programme to improve the selection procedure for graduate applications, in order to ensure that all candidates are evaluated fairly.

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.

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

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.

The Medical Genetics course from University of Cambridge applicants are typically science postgraduates or clinically qualified doctors undertaking scientific training. 

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.

Students in this Pharmacy and Pharmacology programme at the University of Bath will present a thesis completed while employed, or they will submit published work embodying research in some aspect of Medicine.

The Nanotechnology research theme at The Open University UK focuses on the revolutionary opportunities associated with nanomaterials and nanoscale engineering.

Research in the School of Biology at the University of St Andrews spans a broad range of topics in the biological sciences, and offers a variety of opportunities for PhD research.

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.

By choosing Chemistry as a postgraduate at University of Hull you will be joining a vibrant and forward-thinking research community. 

The Statistics programme offered by Heriot-Watt University develops advanced quantitative research expertise through rigorous investigation of statistical theory, modelling, risk analysis, and decision-making methods that address complex economic and societal challenges.

The question of whether life exists beyond Earth is eons old, yet it is only relatively recently that space missions have been launched to help answer this. This Governance and Ethics programme is offered at The Open University UK.

The Pure Mathematics Group in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at The Open University UK is made up of the Combinatorics and Algebra Group and the Dynamical Systems Groups.

The Department benefits from online subscriptions to a vast number of primary research journals and access to online databases to facilitate your literature searching. At the University of Liverpool, we offer our graduate students a phd degree in Chemistry.

From animal behaviour to molecular evolution, you work in field and laboratory settings, guided and supervised by our expert faculty. This Biology programme is offered at the University of Sussex.

Working closely with members of the Astrobiology and Habitats for Life research area at The Open University UK, we use a variety of experimental techniques, including molecular biology, mineralogy and geochemistry, and orbital flight experiments, to understand the way in which microorganisms persist in extreme environments and how this could be applied to environments elsewhere.

Research in Medicinal Chemistry at Keele University includes the design, synthesis, evaluation and use of biologically-active molecules with the potential for use as drugs in a clinical setting.  

Our work on Theoretical Condensed Matter and Biophysics at The Open University UK follows a common thread of modelling complex systems consisting of many interacting objects.
