Department
The Sir William Dunn School of Pathology is a dynamic department located in beautiful surroundings near the historic centre of Oxford. Famous for the development of penicillin and cephalosporin antibiotics, it has an outstanding track record in medical research.
The Department undertakes research in Cancer & Genome Stability, Cell Biology, Development & Stem Cells, Infection & Immunity, and RNA and Gene Expression.
Graduate Training
We take on about 18 graduate students each year for research towards a Doctor of Philosophy (DPhil) degree, which is the University of Oxford’s equivalent of a PhD.
We usually have over 60 graduate students in the Department at any one time, at least half of whom are from outside the UK. We are a spacious and well-funded Department, able to offer graduate students outstanding facilities. Students also benefit from its close proximity to the Colleges and the many research facilities in the University Science Area. We have a thriving Graduate Students’ Association.
Students have access to a comprehensive skills training programme covering a wide range of techniques and transferable skills, and there are internship opportunities to enable students to explore career options. Students can apply for post-doctoral scholarships to enhance their career options.
