This four-year DPhil programme aims to train and nurture future leaders in the application of genomics to advance human health. It will equip them with skill sets spanning experimental and analytical genomic science in order to realise the potential of genomics and practice the qualities of fair and inspiring leadership that we will instil during the course.
PhD Program Requirements
A first-class or strong upper second-class undergraduate degree with honours in a relevant biological science or quantitative subject.
However, entrance is very competitive and most successful applicants have a first-class degree or the equivalent.
Substantial professional experience or a graduate qualification may be a substitute for a lower grade at undergraduate level.
For applicants with a degree from the USA, the minimum GPA sought is 3.5 out of 4.0.
Research or working experience in a relevant field may be an advantage.
Whilst not required, publications demonstrating previous research success in a relevant field is likely to advantage a candidate’s application.
PhD Funding Coverage
All applicants who are offered a place on the DPhil in Genomic Medicine and Statistics course will be offered a fully-funded scholarship, covering course fees for the duration of their course and a living stipend.
