Postgraduate Research Degrees
The Division of Animal Sciences has a thriving community of postgraduate research students, both national and international. Current students are from countries as diverse as the UK, Poland, China, Korea, Oman, Thailand and India. All students are provided with their own desk and computer with internet access. Students work in a range of multi-user laboratories with access to state-of-the-art equipment, and are trained in a variety of techniques.

All students attend training courses organised by the University's Graduate School and an independent Assessor is appointed for each student.
