Overview

A typical day/week in each year of the course in the first two to three years will mostly focus on direct research and lab work, but will also require reading of the literature, attendance at departmental seminars, lab meetings and skills training.

Once sufficient progress has been made, laboratory research will taper off and efforts will focus on data analysis and thesis preparation.

Features

For a Pharmacology DPhil, your research will be carried out at University of Oxford under the supervision of a member of academic staff. You will work within their research group on an agreed project at the forefront of the subject.
