Overview

The Department of Biological and Medical Sciences at Oxford Brookes University is a small and friendly department with around 40 research students.

We have close partnerships with hospitals and local industry. Some of our students conduct much of their research within those placements, while others are based in the field or in the department’s own research laboratories.

Career prospects

Much of our training is aimed at helping you to achieve excellence in your research degree. We'll help you to identify the skills that are appropriate for further employment and explore your career aims.

We are proud of the fact that many of our students go on to postdoctoral research posts. If research is not your long term career aim, we'll support you to identify likely areas of employment and to develop the skills that you'll need.
