There are many reasons why one would want to do a PhD in Life Sciences at Dundee. More that 1,100 staff and research students representing no fewer than 62 different nationalities provide a genuinely global research environment in the heart of Scotland.

Our students receive a great deal of support from their peers and via the PhD student association (PiCLS). We offer a range of different programmes; some involve rotation projects whilst others are focused on a single research area. In all cases the programme is structured to maximise effective guidance and mentoring, in addition to providing...

Analytical science underpins crucial areas of the bioscience sector, such as biotechnology, brewing and distilling, food and drink, pharmaceuticals and bioengineering.

Academics at Heriot-Watt University work closely with these industries and, in recent years, leaders from organisations such as the Scotch Whisky Research Institute (SWRI), Diageo, Industrial Biotechnology Innovation Centre (IBioIC), and the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service have highlighted the need for graduates who have strong applied analytical science skills.

The MSc in Analytical Science for the Biosciences Industries has been developed in close collaboration with our industrial partners to fill...

Precision Medicine is rapidly expanding within the global healthcare industry, integrating genome and biomarker data with healthcare data to deliver more cost-effective and safer treatments.

Under the guidance of our academic staff, you will undertake a research project...

This is a research degree, ideally as preparation for a PhD or other intensive research projects. It is like other research degrees in that it is directed investigation, both theoretical and practical, under the supervision of an assigned Director of Studies, with access to other staff, expertise and facilities on campus and/or support through blended learning. But it not a taught degree, as such - students are expected to be capable of productive self-initiated work in any design-related area of study, supported with periodic sessions with their Director of Studies. A lively peer research group and ongoing exhibitions will provide...
