Career opportunities

• Champion Surrey's ‘One Health, One Medicine' approach, which brings together expertise from a broad range of multidisciplinary areas. Embrace a ‘bench to bedside’ philosophy, with the potential to take part in molecular and computational studies as well as clinical trials. Depending on your research project, you’ll likely complete a clinically orientated project to generate data that will underpin your final thesis. Some research areas will be primarily or entirely related to the analysis of existing scientific or clinical data sets; however, all projects will require some statistical analysis. Some projects will be conducted at the University of Surrey, whereas others will involve collaboration with other institutions. Your final assessment will be based on the presentation of your research in a written thesis, which will be discussed in a viva examination with at least two examiners. You have the option of preparing your thesis as a monograph (one large volume in chapter form) or in publication format (including chapters written for publication), subject to the approval of your supervisors. You’ll have a confirmation assessment to formally review your project. If you're a full-time student, this will take place around 9-12 months into your studies or 18-24 months if you’re studying part-time. You’ll be required to submit a written report and successfully complete an oral examination.
