This four year D.Phil. (PhD) programme delivers novel, integrated graduate training in infection and immunology within a translational medicine context. It provides the opportunity for research in the basic biomedical sciences of infectious diseases, the innate and acquired immune system and the development and use of therapeutic drugs and vaccines. As a structured programme, it consists of a one-year modular course followed by a three-year doctoral research project, which can take place in any of the participating departments at the University.
