Summary

Three years of supervised laboratory-based research (five years part-time) examined by thesis and viva voce. PhD students are typically science postgraduates, medical students combining clinical training with the PhD, or clinically qualified doctors undertaking scientific training.

Research is in the areas of clinical transplantation, organ preservation, transplant immunology, orthopaedic research, regenerative medicine, urology and vascular research and covers basic biology through to clinical therapies. Specific research training relevant to your own project is provided in the laboratory in which you work. Further training is provided within the Biomedical Campus and elsewhere in the University and includes postgraduate workshops on research techniques, research seminars, and postgraduate student education seminars on generic subjects such as intellectual property rights, statistics, bioinformatics, communication skills, writing a thesis or paper, entrepreneurship, etc.

Candidates wishing to take a shorter course of research may apply for the MPhil in Medical Sciences, which is also examined by thesis and viva voce.
