The Department of Health Sciences offers numerous opportunities for postgraduate research leading to the award of the MD/MPhil/ and PhD degrees both by full time and part-time studies. We also offer an MRes in Applied Health Research and MRes in Research Translation Management. The following links will answer many of your questions.
