137 Part-time PhD programmes in Biology
Astrobiology - Science
Our unique approach to the scientific aspects of Astrobiology - Science research at The Open University UK combines fieldwork, laboratory simulations, thermochemical modelling and in situ observations.
Biological, Biomedical and Life Sciences
Research opportunities in the Biological, Biomedical and Life Sciences at Keele University include a wide range of topics in mammalian molecular biology, molecular medicine, epigenetics, proteomics, physiology, structural biology and neuroscience.
Biological Sciences
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.
Biological Sciences (Functional and Comparative Genomics)
Each organism, whether animal, plant or microbe, is defined by its genome and this same information can be used by us to investigate wide ranging biological phenomena and even alter biology itself through the production of transgenic organisms. We offer a Biological Sciences (Functional and Comparative Genomics) degree at the University of Liverpool.
Eye and Vision Sciences
Eye and Vision Sciences research at University of Liverpool extends from basic molecular interactions through to health service implementation with the goal of translating our findings for the benefit of patients.
Computational and Integrative Biology
The Computational and Integrative Biology degree at the Rutgers University offers rigorous research training. With faculty support, students from diverse academic backgrounds contribute to groundbreaking interdisciplinary research.
Biogeochemistry and Ecosystem Ecology
Biogeochemistry and Ecosystem Ecology research at The Open University UK focuses on Earth’s terrestrial ecosystems and biosphere-atmosphere exchange of greenhouse gases. Studies undertaken range from investigations of the smallest microbial unit to whole catchment ecosystems and across a wide range of latitudes, with a developing focus on tropical ecosystems.
Infectious Disease
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.
Biomaterials
The Biomaterials research programme at The University of Manchester covers an exciting area of research in the Department focusing both on fundamental understanding of interactions between man-made materials and biological tissues and the development of useful applications.
Biology
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.
Medical Mycology
The PhD in Medical Mycology programme at The University of Manchester enables you to undertake a research project that will improve understanding of Medical Mycology.
Astrobiology - Governance and Ethics
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 Astrobiology - Governance and Ethics programme is offered at The Open University UK.
Theoretical Condensed Matter and Biophysics
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.
Computational Infection Biology
The School at University College Dublin boasts a large cohort of graduate students enrolled in high quality structured M.Sc. (by research) and Computational Infection Biology Ph.D. programmes that provide training in specific, state-of-the-art and generic research skills.
Astrobiology and Habitats for Life
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.
Stem Cell Biology
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.
Biophysics
The aim of Biophysics programme from Pavol Jozef Safárik University in Kosice is to prepare highly educated graduates with a wide range of knowledge, skills, and specific abilities in the field of biophysics and its related disciplines.
