Overview
We are a top tier, research-led university and are committed to making a substantial impact on the global challenges facing society. Our postgraduate researchers have opportunities to work at the heart of active research teams, challenging boundaries and making real advances.
Research interests in Pharmacy include Biological, Chemical, Clinical and Medical Sciences. This research is broken down into five clusters: Chemical Biology and Medicinal Chemistry, Molecular and Tissue Pharmacology, Patient Care, Pharmaceutical Materials and Soft Matter and Pharmacy Education.
A research degree with an academic supervisor gives you the support to carry out your own independent research. We have a wealth of remarkable academics who can describe current research interests and projects as possible supervisors. We suggest you look at the School's websites for the research clusters, learn about the research interests that align with yours, and the details of the researchers in those areas.
In your application you will need to nominate a supervisor. You should make contact with them to discuss the projects that are offered, and ask for an outline research proposal that needs to be included in your application.
