About

The DPhil in Surgical Sciences at the University of Oxford is a full-time doctoral programme offering research training across a range of scientific areas for both clinical and non- clinical graduates within an academic surgery department.

Overview

Hosted by the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences at the University of Oxford, the DPhil in Surgical Sciences is three to four years in length.

Features 

  • Students are admitted directly onto a research project working with one of the department’s many principal investigators (PIs). 
  • Usually candidates agree upon a project with their supervisor, and in the first instance we strongly encourage you to visit the department’s website to identify your area of interest and contact a supervisor before applying.

Programme Structure

Research

  • Research undertaken within the department covers many areas including fields such as cancer, immunology, and neurosciences, and specialities such as patient safety, transplantation, urology and vascular surgery
  • You will be integrated into your supervisor’s research group, and will have the opportunity to network with and present to the wider department through our Surgical Grand Round series and Research Away Day. Normally your supervisory team will consist of your main supervisor along with at least one additional co-supervisor (who may be based outside of the University), with support also available from the Graduate Studies team and college advisors.
