Postgraduate Research Degrees
Every year we welcome some of the world’s brightest postgraduate students to the School of Biomedical Sciences. Attracted by an excellent reputation and exciting opportunities to work with renowned scientists on groundbreaking projects , our students thrive in a vibrant, multidisciplinary environment at one of the world’s most respected research-led universities.
We have around a hundred PhD students at any one time, a third of which come from all over the world, including Egypt, Libya, Malaysia, Thailand, Saudi Arabia and the Caribbean. Many arrive from the same institutions, encouraged by former students who continue to share their positive experiences of Nottingham.
Once here, they enjoy incredible support, extensive training, leading-edge facilities, strong industrial links with major pharma companies, and the opportunity to undertake short commercial placements.
This rounded approach ensures our students finish their PhDs not only with highly attuned scientific research skills, but also with a broader commercial understanding that makes them so attractive to employers. Indeed many go on to hold postdoctoral positions here and at other leading institutions such as Harvard, UCLA and Melbourne, or into senior positions at some of the world’s biggest pharma organisations.
The School of Biomedical Sciences has created the perfect conditions to help you realise your full potential. We invite you to find out more about our pioneering research and the incredible opportunities we offer.
