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.

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.

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.

Biology
This Biology PhD programme from Newcastle University research projects in our three main research areas of biodiversity and conservation, agri-environment, and microbiology.

Social Statistics and Demography
We offer a Social Statistics and Demography degree at the University of Southampton. Join a community of researchers tackling today’s biggest challenges, such as helping to improve maternal health in India or improving access to water. We are known for our expertise and the application of cutting-edge quantitative and qualitative methods.

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 Genetic MPhil, PhD, MD programme from Newcastle University look at the causes of genetic disease. We explore genetic disease at the molecular and cellular level and its treatment.

Statistics
The Statistics programme PhD programme from Newcastle University has a strong international reputation for making original contributions to Bayesian methodology, bioinformatics and biostatistics. We invite postgraduate research proposals in any of these three areas.

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.

Mathematics
The University of Bristol School of Mathematics has more than doubled in size in the last decade, with over 100 academic staff and up to 90 postgraduates. University of Bristol offers the Mathematics programme.
