Our PhD/MPhil Physiology programme enables you to undertake a research project that will improve understanding of Physiology. Physiology seeks to addresses how the individual aspects of molecular, cellular, tissue and organ function relates to whole organism function and how perturbations from the external environment effect these processes. Our research utilises emerging technologies in parallel with more traditional studies at whole organism level. This approach benefits from the sense of perspective gained from the application of a wide range of techniques to understanding physiological systems. All of our postgraduate research students attend the Doctoral Academy Training Programme delivered by the Centre for Academic and Researcher Development (CARD). The programme provides key transferable skills in areas such as commercial awareness, academic writing and public engagement. This training equips our postgraduates with the tools to progress beyond their research degree into influential positions within academia, industry and consultancy.
