    Program overview

    What the University of Greenwich says about their program:
    "We offer advanced research training opportunities across a broad range of areas, including chemistry, pharmacy, biomedical science, environmental science and sports science. Our research degree is designed by four departments: Medway School of Pharmacy, the Natural Resources Institute, Life and Sports Science, and Pharmaceutical, Chemical and Environmental Science. Research activities are supported by state-of-the-art laboratories and computer facilities.


    You will initiate and interpret new knowledge, led by your understanding of a substantial body of knowledge in your academic discipline. Recent projects by our research students include solar energy conversion, fragment-based drug discovery, the treatment of contaminated soils by accelerated carbonation, and the integrated production of bio-diesel from rapeseed oil. Once you complete your training, you'll be ideally suited to work in academic or industrial research environments.


    You are highly encouraged to identify and contact a potential MPhil/PhD supervisor among the School of Science staff members. They will guide you with your application and help you shape your research proposal.


    Typically, you register for the MPhil and transfer to the PhD at the end of the first year, subject to satisfactory progress. You will benefit from dedicated research lab space and state-of-the-art facilities at our Medway Campus in Kent."
