The Medical Sciences Division houses some of the strongest biomedical research in the world; Oxford is repeatedly placed first in clinical, pre-clinical and health in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings. The Division’s 2,000 researchers cover a wide area, ranging from sub-molecular structural biology to epidemiology as applied to very large populations. This enables students to work on virtually any biomedical problem.
With close to 1,200 graduate students, excellent new facilities, and close personal supervision by world-class researchers, the Division provides a stimulating and challenging environment for talented graduate students.
The Division has recently established the Medical Sciences Graduate School to guide applicants and ensure that students get the best possible supervision and training. Applicants are strongly advised to use the Graduate School website to help them identify the most suitable programme and supervisors.
All candidates who apply by the January deadline are automatically considered for full funding awards, irrespective of their nationality. The majority of students accepted by the Division secure full funding, covering both fees and living expenses.
