Systems Biology (Doctoral Training Centre)
Research Programmes
Systems Biology Doctoral Training Centre DPhil Students undertake a four-year doctoral training programme. The first two terms are devoted to acquiring the necessary theoretical and technical skills from both the physical sciences and the life sciences, through a combination of intensive lecture courses, practicals, seminars, project work and communication skills training.
Over the third term and summer period of the first year, students undertake two extended projects of approximately 12 weeks’ duration. These are similar in scope to a Masters’ level project.
On completion of the projects, students undertake their substantive DPhil research projects within one of the four key research themes:
- Whole Organism Behaviour
- Signalling Pathway Modelling
- Molecules to Cells
- Integrative Biology
Entry Requirements
Good undergraduate honours degree (minimum of upper second-class or equivalent) in Physical Sciences (e.g. Chemistry, Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics), or the Life Sciences (e.g. Biology, Biochemistry).
