PhD Medicine in Brighton United Kingdom | University of Sussex

BSMS offers joint PhD and MD degrees conferred by both the University of Sussex and the University of Brighton. Our research encompasses everything from fundamental science to clinical studies, medical ethics, and social sciences, providing postgraduate students with diverse and stimulating opportunities.

At BSMS, our postgraduate research programs equip you with advanced skills to pursue careers in health and biomedical research using state-of-the-art technologies. Alumni from our PhD and MD programs have advanced into clinical academia, joined biomedical firms, or pursued postdoctoral research positions.

A key advantage of studying here is our interdisciplinary approach, allowing collaboration with both basic science academics and practicing clinicians. Supervision typically comes from BSMS faculty, Brighton or Sussex University academics, or NHS clinicians.

Students benefit from access to Researcher Development Framework training at both universities, along with facilities and equipment across both institutions and NHS research labs.
