We have more than 120 postgraduate research students on full-time and part-time MPhil, PhD, and MDRes degrees with us at any one time. We recruit scientifically and medically qualified students into research programmes reflecting basic scientific advances in biology and medicine, in translational research and in that of an immediate clinical nature. All five of our centres support research degree studies, and our research areas are led by world leaders in their field. Visit our centre webpages to see the subjects covered by our institute.
