Course Overview
The PhD Environmental Biology at University of Manchester is a postgraduate programme designed for postgraduate students passionate about advancing human performance. Based in Manchester, England, this Russell Group university offers a research-led approach to learning, with a 3-year full-time and part-time structure. Our PhD/MPhil Environmental Biology programme enables you to undertake a research project that will improve understanding of Environmental Biology. Animals, microorganisms and plants live in environments to which they have become adapted through millions of years of evolution. They often have to respond to changes which may be biotic or abiotic in nature, and, increasingly, to anthropogenic perturbations which have resulted in global environmental change. A minimum ielts score of 6.5 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with 88% student satisfaction rating, and 78% of graduates in employment or further study.
