Doctor of Philosophy Behavioural Medicine
OVERVIEW
The Doctor of Philosophy (Behavioural Medicine) programme equips graduates to make substantial, original
contributions to biomedical research and evidence-based healthcare in the discipline of Behavioural
Medicine. Building on the foundations of Master’s-level study, the programme is entirely research-based,
with no coursework, and challenges students to undertake a more complex and in-depth independent
research project under expert supervision. This provides advanced experience in designing, conducting,
and critically analysing studies that generate new knowledge and address significant questions in medical
science.
