Medical Microbiology PhD/MPhil

About

Learn from some of Europe's leading researchers while undertaking your own project.
Access some of the best research facilities in the world at both the University and in hospitals around Greater Manchester.
Undergo training in transferable skills critical to developing early-stage researchers and professionals through the Doctoral Academy's training programme.
Conduct research at a university ranked 6th in the UK (QS World University Rankings 2021).

Our PhD/MPhil Medical Microbiology programme enables you to undertake a research project that will improve understanding of Medical Microbiology.

As a postgraduate research student in medical microbiology, you will be based in the Microbiology, Biofilm and Microbiome Research Group.

While there is some flexibility in research themes, we generally offer projects involving the study of one or more of the following topics:

microbial pathogenicity and infection
in vitro modelling
probiotics
antibiotic or microbicide resistance/susceptibility
human microbiome
interactions between bacteria and eukaryotic cell systems

As well as providing research experience in applied microbiological techniques, we work with collaborators both within the University and, where appropriate, externally to give you valuable experience in methods including confocal microscopy, metabolomics, next generation sequencing, transcriptomics and proteomics.

PhD/MPhil programmes are based on individual research projects that last three to four years (PhD) orone to twoyears (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 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.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

For master’s programmes we consider a first degree from a recognised Jordanian university with a high percentage or GPA.

Jordanian master’s degrees from recognised universities (classified as Merit or above, or equivalent) are generally considered for PhD entry at The University of Manchester.

English Program Requirements

The UK Visa and Immigration Authority (UKVI) requires that every student requiring a visa to study in the UK must show evidence of a minimum level of English language (Common European Framework (CEFR) B2 level) in order to be granted a Student Route visa (previously known as a Tier 4 visa) to study at undergraduate or postgraduate level.

In addition, our academic Schools may require applicants to demonstrate English proficiency above B2 level, as the academic content of a UK degree can be linguistically demanding. Academic English entry requirements vary by course, and can be found on individual course profiles.

How to Apply

Make a note of the application deadline, if there is one. We generally advise youto apply as early as possible. If you are applying to a specific programme with attached funding, application deadlines are often at the beginning of December, or even earlier for the start of the programme the following September. If you are planning to apply for a scholarship or award that is not attached to a particular project, it is normally stipulated that you hold an offer of a place from the University before applying, so you are encouraged to apply early.
