About

Overview

The School of Physiology, Pharmacology and Neuroscience has an international reputation for research excellence in cardiovascular biology,neuroscience, and cell signalling. The school is highly committed to training the next generation of scientists from both the UK and overseas, taking great pride in the standard of our postgraduate provision.

New students enter an exciting and diverse research environment in which we support and challenge our postgraduates to excel. All postgraduates receive extensive research and transferable skills training.

The school is well supported by programme and project grants, particularly from the Medical Research Council (MRC), the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), Wellcome Trust, Cancer Research UK and British Heart Foundation (BHF), enabling the school to provide a vibrant environment for research. We offer both three- or four-year PhD programmes and one-year Masters by Research (MScR) projects.

Career

Career prospectsThe majority of our postgraduate students become highly productive researchers through the course of their studies, publishing in leading peer-reviewed biomedical journals. Most go on to post-doctoral research in academia and industry, both in the UK and abroad. Others use the significant transferable skills gained during their study to enter postgraduate-level employment including in publishing, project management, science communication and policy. The school is committed to promoting the advancement of under represented groups in science, and we provide an environment that allows everyone to meet their full potential during their studies.
