Doctor of Philosophy - PhD
Summary
Our 4 Year Dual award PhD in Integrative Biomedical Sciences programme will equip students with the distinct skills required to bridge the knowledge gap between the design, execution and interpretation of fundamental research and the challenges of translating this knowledge in humans. The programme focuses on training students to align cutting-edge experimental animal modelling, cellular, regenerative, computational, genetic technologies and analytical tools with comprehensive knowledge of the translational environment.
By 'Training to Translate', this programme draws on unique research strengths in biomedical sciences from The University of Edinburgh and Zhejiang University. As evidenced by our recent award of the 2018 Education Institutional Partnership of the Year at the British Business Awards, we have established an international research institute that builds on the existing strengths of our institutions and aims to foster further collaboration in teaching and research.
Upon successful completion of the programme, you will have the opportunity to be awarded a PhD in Integrative Biomedical Sciences from both the University of Edinburgh and Zhejiang University.

MSc (Res)
Summary
This one year full-time MScR programme is delivered at the Zhejiang University-University of Edinburgh Institute (ZJE) on the Zhejiang International Campus, Haining, China.
Courses are taught and assessed entirely in English.
The degree provides excellent grounding for:
- PhD or other academic study
- research-based positions in industry
- alternative careers that use the transferrable skills you will learn
The programme focuses on two 20-week projects. These will be within research groups at the cutting-edge of biomedical and bioinformatics research.
Extensive collaborations exist with the wider biomedical and clinical communities. These help ensure you are supported in a world-class research environment.
**Projects**
The two-project structure offers experience in two different research environments and areas of research.
You will select ‘wet’ (lab-based) or ‘dry’ (analytical or modelling) projects from across the full range of biomedical sciences and bioinformatics.
Please note, you do not need to include a research proposal in your application and should ignore any mention of this.
Following completion of research projects and writing of dissertations, the final part of the programme is an assessed project proposal. This allows you to assimilate and reflect on the skills you have developed in the programme.
**Taught component**
A minor taught element is included to provide training in core skills essential for a career in biomedical science, including:
- data analysis and experimental design
- critical analysis of research literature
- scientific writing and communication
- seminars to address current and emerging advances in biomedical research
