STUDENTS & POST-GRADS
Although the NHM does not itself confer academic degrees, we act in association with leading UK universities to direct PhD students who may conduct their research primarily at the NHM. The NHM funds internally one PhD fellowship/year and we may act as an 'industrial partner' on NERC-funded CASE studentships.
MSc in Advanced Methods in Taxonomy and Biodiversity
The NHM in association with Imperial College offer MSs/MRes degrees in evolutionary/systematic biology that involve one or more practical studies directed by researchers within and outside the NHM. For more information, please visit the course website.
To discuss PhD and MSc/MRes opportunities, please contact Pete Olson
