Course Summary

A research degree in the Faculty of Biological Sciences is an opportunity to gain and develop skills as an independent researcher in your chosen field. Under the supervision of your lead supervisor and one or more co-supervisors, you will get the chance to carry out cutting-edge research on a particular biological problem and to become part of a large research community using multi-disciplinary approaches to tackle today’s important research questions. Throughout your PhD you will not only strengthen your research skills and knowledge within your research area but also develop skills through our training programmes as well as through attendance as seminars and conferences.The Sports and Exercise Sciences group has a world-class focus for research excellence in exercise science, building on its distinctive identity in understanding the basic mechanisms, and translational applications of physical activity in health and disease. The group has over 50 members including 20 permanent academic staff, research and teaching fellows. The group covers a wide range of topics, which are underpinned by fundamental research. We work closely with the Cardiovascular group, sharing three research themes (Skeletal muscle in health and disease, Ageing and the cardiopulmonary system, Exercise and the failing heart), and use an interdisciplinary approach to answer shared research questions.
