PhD Biological Sciences (China)

University of Liverpool

The PhD in Biological Sciences gives suitably qualified graduates the chance to address important biological and bioinformatics questions. Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University offers students state-of-the-art facilities and the supervision of academic staff who have trained in internationally renowned laboratories. Importantly, the programme also equips graduates with a range of professional skills to maximise future employability. Pursuing a full-time PhD typically involves three years of conducting research and one year of writing a thesis, supported by subject-specific and general skills training and development. A full-time PhD student must submit their thesis within four years (or six years for part-time PhD students). The programme will be managed through collaboration between XJTLU and the University of Liverpool. Upon successful completion of the programme, you will receive a degree from the University of Liverpool, which is recognised by China’s Ministry of Education.
