Biology
Westlake University’s Biology department is a pioneering, supportive, and innovative community of scholar practitioners focused on building excellence between the biological sciences and related branches of physical science, medicine, engineering, and material sciences.

Chemistry
Research at Westlake University's Chemistry department is highly interdisciplinary and enables the understanding, prediction, and manipulation of the structure, properties, and function of matter at the atomic and molecular levels.

Physics
In Westlake University's Ph.D. programme in Physics, students will pursue groundbreaking discoveries across a wide range of areas.

Bioinformatics
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.

Chemistry
Our Chemistry PhD programme at Queen Mary University of London offers students the opportunity to conduct research within a range of areas.

Biomedicine
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.

Cellular and Molecular Biology
Molecular Biology is the field of biology that studies the structure and function of genes at a molecular level. The study of chromosomes and gene expression of an organism can give insight into heredity, genetic variation, and mutations. The Cellular and Molecular Biology programme is offered at University of Canterbury.

Mathematics
The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Programme in Mathematics from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology aims to prepare students to become research scholars in an academic or industrial environment and enable students to do independent and original research.

Biosciences
Our Biosciences academics at Brunel University of London are internationally renowned scientists in their fields of expertise and are involved in making major advances and breakthroughs in human diseases and syndromes, including breast, prostate and skin cancer, leukaemia, progeria (premature ageing), tuberculosis, malaria, aspergillus infection, trinucleotide repeat diseases and normal ageing.

Biological Sciences
This Biological Sciences PhD programme from 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.

Theoretical Physics
The Theoretical Physics programme from Maynooth University takes four years of full time study (six years part time). The structured PhD programme involves substantial original research under the supervision of academic staff in an area of theoretical physics or applied mathematics and the submission of a major thesis containing a significant amount of original matherial and results.

Physical Engineering
The program in Physical Engineering (PhD) degree of Universidade de Aveiro corresponds to the formation of researchers in the area of Physical Engineering, of high qualification and autonomy degree.

Chemistry
This Chemistry PhD programme from 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.
