PhD programmes
Details on all our postgraduate programmes can be found on the Study site. When you are considering doing a PhD, see our PhD project list for details of potential areas you could research.
For more general postgraduate information please visit the Science Graduate School.
Our PhD programme is for graduates who are aiming for a career in academic or industrial research. The PhD is a research degree that is assessed by submission of a thesis and externally examined.
Students coming to do a PhD are normally registered for a MPhil degree and then transferred to the PhD course after one year.
Postgraduate students are offered a variety of practical training courses and are encouraged to attend international scientific meetings.
