Overview
The Interdisciplinary Life and Environmental Science programme offered by University of Oxford offers the opportunity to undertake research across the full breadth of biological and environmental science, from cellular mechanisms and crop science, through to climate change and dynamic earth processes. It provides innovative training for graduates from a life science, physical science or computational and mathematical science background who wish to conduct leading-edge bioscience and environmental science research.
Features
Based in the University of Oxford’s innovative Doctoral Training Centre (DTC), you will undertake an in-depth programme of cohort-based, experiential learning that:
- Provides a strong foundation in the computational and quantitative techniques that underpin interdisciplinary research;
- Further develops these skills in a research context through rotations and team projects;
- Builds connections within and between themes, supporting learning, sharing best practice and inspiring interdisciplinary innovation;
- Develops communication skills and connections with broader communities through teaching, outreach and policy engagement;
Programme Structure
