Graduate Studies

EW with tube 2

There are a number of opportunities for postgraduate students within The Experimental Medicine Division NDM, to study and undertake research towards a Doctor of Philosophy (D.Phil.) degree, which is the University of Oxford's equivalent of a Ph.D. There is also a Master of Science (M.Sc.) course in Integrated Immunology run in conjunction with Experimental Medicine NDM and the Nuffield Department of Surgery.  

University of Oxford Summer Internship Programme 2013

The Nuffield Department of Clinical Medicine is offering outstanding undergraduate and masters students the opportunity to work in a laboratory environment with an Oxford University Principal Investigator (PI) and their team across a number of different research areas. Applications should be submitted by Friday 1st March 2013. For further imformation on how apply and information regarding the research areas involved please go to the Internship pages of the Nuffield Department of Clinical Medicine website.

Doctoral Projects

There are currently over twenty-five doctoral projects avaliable through the Experimental Medicine Division.  For further information about all of the projects below, admissions and funding please go to Graduate Studies
