Programme description
Our PhD Inflammation Sciences programme enables you to undertake a research project that will improve understanding of Inflammation Sciences.
Inflammation sciences combine cutting edge research with translational biology.
Principal investigators come from a variety of disciplines (medical sciences, mucosal immunology, cell biology, genetics) to address key questions in the inflammation field.
Many projects are disease-focused, with an emphasis on understanding mechanism or addressing an unmet clinical need.
Investigations are carried out using both human tissue and animal models to accelerate translation.
State-of-the-art core facilities in flow cytometry, imaging, microscopy, bioinformatics and transgenics provide progressive approaches to complex research questions.
Teaching and learning
PhD/MPhil programmes are based on individual research projects that last three to four years (PhD) or one year (MPhil), working with a specific Primary Supervisor and Co-Supervisor(s).
Applicants are specifically matched with a Primary Supervisor and individual project based on their research interests and background.
International applicants interested in this research area can also consider the our PhD programme with integrated teaching certificate .
This unique programme will enable you to gain a Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching and Learning, whilst also carrying out independent research on your chosen project.
Career opportunities
Your postgraduate research degree will open up a range of career opportunities after you graduate.
We require applicants to hold, or be about to obtain, an Upper Second class Honours degree (or overseas equivalent) in a related subject area for entry to a PhD programme. A Lower Second class Honours degree may be considered if applicants also hold a Master's degree with a Merit classification.
