Undergraduate & Postgraduate Research Opportunities

Master/PhD Projects

Study for a PhD in Women’s Health is normally 3 full time years of work or 5 part-time years. A thesis embodying the results of these investigations is needed and would need to be seen as a significant contribution to the area of research chosen. A Masters project (1 full time year or 2 part-time years) can be an end in itself, but can be started and then, if it goes well at the 1 year stage, be transferred to a PhD. Enquiry as to these projects is most easily via the mentioned supervisor or directly with the Head of Section.

Bachelor of Medical Science with Honours (BMedSc Hons) Projects

The Department actively encourages and supports BMedSc candidates and has a wide range of research opportunities.
