DPhil in Zoology

4 Years On Campus Phd Program

University of Oxford

Program Overview

The Department of Zoology maintains a large and interactive group of around 170 DPhil students at any one time, working in the research areas of the department. Zoology graduates, like DPhil graduates in biological sciences at Oxford as a whole, continue to a wide range of careers after graduating. As a doctoral student at the Department of Zoology, your primary focus will be your research, which will usually be conducted within one or more of the existing research groups. In addition, you will be encouraged to make the most of the doctoral training and research methods provision available across the Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division. Between 2008-13, 84% of DPhil graduates continued in bioscience-related posts, of which almost two thirds involved academic research.
