    Postgraduate

Profile World-class microbiological research takes place in Newcastle in medical sciences, biological sciences, and civil engineering and geosciences. We welcome MPhil, PhD and MD research proposals in all three of these fields. We are well funded and this creates a vibrant and dynamic environment for postgraduate study. We offer MPhil, PhD and MD supervision in: Medical sciences The Centre of Bacterial Cell Biology researches fundamental aspects of the cell biology and biochemistry of bacteria, providing scientific insights crucial for the discovery and development of new antibiotics, as well as providing solutions to a huge range of industrial and environmental problems. Other research interests include: chromosome replication and segregation transcription and translation protein structure, function and engineering cell envelope, growth and division synthetic biology, development and gene regulation bacterium-host interactions Biological sciences The Applied and Environmental Microbiology Group researches: microbial biology in a range of habitats discovery of natural products, eg antibiotics reduction of food spoilage production of biofuels, bioremediation of polluted environments pathogens and host–pathogen interactions in a range of diseases including those in plants and coral reefs Civil engineering and geosciences The multidisciplinary research of Civil Engineering and Geosciences contributes fundamental advances in: microbial ecology environmental microbiology environmental engineering and Earth systems biogeochemistry microbiological aspects of engineered and natural environments anaerobic crude oil degradation in petroleum reservoirs engineered biological treatment systems the microbial ecology of climatically significant processes such as methane cycling Our research involves collaboration with mathematicians and modellers to develop underlying methods and theories that unite fundamental and applied aspects of the...

Faculty of Medical Sciences Graduate School

Our Medical Sciences Graduate School is dedicated to providing you with information, support and advice throughout your research degree studies. We can help and advise you on a variety of queries relating to your studies, funding or welfare.

Our Research Student Development Programme supports and complements your research whilst developing your professional skills and confidence.

You will make an on-going assessment of your own development and training needs through personal development planning (PDP) in the ePortfolio system. Our organised external events and development programme have been mapped against the Vitae Researcher Development Framework to help you identify how best to meet your training and development needs.

Newcastle-Liverpool-Durham Doctoral Training Partnership

The Newcastle-Liverpool-Durham Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) is supported by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and offers:

  • researchers the opportunity to address scientific biosciences questions
  • an exceptional programme of research training, emphasising the interdisciplinary nature of modern biology
  • the latest technologies and facilities to deliver world-class results

Each year we award around 30 fully-funded studentships across the partnership on the following research themes:

  • food security
  • bioenergy and industrial biotechnology
  • basic bioscience underpinning health – lifelong age and wellbeing
  • other world-class bioscience
