Currently we have about 1500 graduate students in Biological, Medical and Veterinary Sciences, from all over the world. However, some departments and institutes will take students for a one or two year MPhil or MSc course in research training. If you are interested in these degrees, you can contact individual departments or institutes to find out whether they offer one. You will also find details about these courses in the Graduate Prospectus . Specialist courses include the VetMD for veterinary graduates with post graduate experience.
Further details are available here .
There is also an MPhil in Epidemiology which is a taught course. The Diploma in Public Health is available for medical practitioners who wish to enter the speciality of Public Health Medicine. The remainder of this page refers to PhD courses. Most PhD students follow a three year course, though there is a four-year Wellcome PhD programme in Developmental Biology and another in Infection and Immunity . This is only for students reading clinical medicine.
