As part of the Norwich Research Park, which includes the John Innes Centre, the Sainsbury Laboratory, the Institute of Food Research and the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital Trust, the School of Biological Sciences offers an outstanding environment in which to carry out research across the whole of the life sciences.
Currently the Norwich Research Park houses over 300 research postgraduates in the life sciences. Research in the School is supported by grants and contracts of ca £34 million and the School’s laboratories most of which have recently been refurbished are equipped to the highest standards. We have strong collaborations with our other affiliated institutes which include the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (CEFAS) and the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO).
Research in the school is organised into three general themes: cells and tissues, molecules and pathways and organisms and the environment. We offer a range of postgraduate research courses which will enable you to follow your interests to a high academic standard.
World Class Future Science
Norfolk is home to a cluster of internationally-renowned research organisations. They are working together to tackle the major challenges facing all of us in the 21st Century – the sustainability of our environment; our food supplies and healthy ageing. There are over 2500 scientists working to find realistic and practical solutions; who then have the infrastructure and support to translate these discoveries into commercially successful business. Find out more.
Opportunities to join our research can be found via the project links below. In addition, details of the research performed across the School of Biological Sciences can be found at https://www.uea.ac.uk/bio and prospective students are welcome to contact supervisors in whose research they are interested to explore the opportunities. Staff research pages can be viewed via the School web pages at the address above where contact details can also be found. Prospective students are also welcome to contact pgr.enquiries.admiss@uea.ac.uk for further information about Research Degrees at UEA. It is anticipated that the majority of successful applicants will start on 1 October each year but some may be able to start at one of the University's other standard entry points (1 January, 1 April and 1 July) . Please contact individual supervisors for details.
