Designing and carrying out the bioscientific research that provides the evidence base for health policy and practice, our researchers are actively contributing to improvements in services for patients and practitioners alike.
A PhD in Health Sciences will give you the opportunity to explore your personal or professional research interests in this diverse field.
Currently, students are exploring the anti-fungal properties of maggot secretions and the antimicrobial properties of invertebrates, and the physiological effects of a cardiac rehabilitation programme on myocardial infarction patients in Kuwait.
As a student at our School of Health and Social Care, you will benefit from a dynamic and supportive research environment with many opportunities to make connections across disciplines and develop links with organisations and policymakers both in the UK and abroad. As such, you can be confident that your research will inform and be informed by the wider healthcare environment.
