This high-level training in Bioinformatics research from Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) opens up a wide range of career options for students, as well as academic opportunities.

Mathematics
Westlake University's Ph.D. programme in Mathematics, in collaboration with Fudan University provides students with rigorous training in pure and applied mathematics, as well as individualized guidance and mentorship toward original research.

Biotechnology
Courses during the Biotechnology programme at University of Canterbury are taught by leading national and visiting international researchers.

Synthetic Biology
The overall aim of the Synthetic Biology degree offered at Brunel University of London is to address major environmental, health and societal challenges by engineering biological systems such that they display functions that do not exist in nature, as well as re-designing existing biological systems so that they perform new functions.

Genetics
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.

Life Sciences (Integrated)
Environmental factors influence our health and wellbeing, as well as affect ecosystems and wildlife. An intimate understanding of such factors – chemical substances, for example, or changes in radiation or temperature – is urgently needed to better understand disease trends in humans and adverse effects on wildlife. Life Sciences (Integrated) is offered at Brunel University of London.

Cancer and Genetics
