3 Year
During this three-year research programme (which does not include a one-year master’s degree), students undertake a period of supervised research and are expected to submit a thesis for examination within their fourth year at the latest. Students also attend relevant lectures and seminars and participate in skills development activities. The course introduces students to research skills and specialist knowledge. Its main aims are: to give students with relevant experience the opportunity to carry out focused research in the discipline under supervision; and to give students the opportunity to acquire or develop skills and expertise relevant to their research interests. In addition to the research training provided within the Department, as part of the Postgraduate School of Life Sciences students, will have access to courses to widen their experience and to enable them to acquire generic skills.
