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.

Advance your expertise in forensic science research to impact real-world investigations.

The Philosophy discipline at The Open University UK welcomes applications for graduate work in History of Philosophy of Science.

Research in this Neuroscience programme at the University of Sussex to understand the nervous system and various neurological disorders.

This Stem Cell Biology programme from University of Nottingham covers the fundamental understanding of most diseases and developmental/age related disorders is hindered by the lack of relevant model systems. Similarly, the design of therapeutics, including cell-based or biological therapies, benefits from improved close-to-patient models.

Mathematics at the University of Stirling combines cutting-edge research in predictive modelling and data science with their application in multiple domains.

A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is the highest academic award for which a student can be registered. This Chemistry (Distance Learning) programme at the University of Huddersfield allows you to explore and pursue a research project built around a substantial piece of work, which has to show evidence of original contribution to knowledge.

The School of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Science offers PhD Mathematics supervision in a wide range of mathematical areas, including both pure and applied subjects. Learn more at the Mathematics programme from University of Essex.

Research in planetary and space science (PSS) covers a wide variety of Solar System science and exploration. We investigate the origin and evolution of the Solar System through the physical, geological, chemical and biological processes that drive it. 

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.

Conduct research at the cutting edge of the discipline, working alongside a team of specialist academic advisors. The Biological Sciences degree is offered by University of Plymouth.
