PhD in Sport and Exercise Sciences - Physical Activity and Public Health

A research degree in the Faculty of Biological Sciences is an opportunity to gain and develop skills as an independent researcher in your chosen field. Under the supervision of your lead supervisor and one or more co-supervisors, you will get the chance to carry out cutting-edge research on a particular biological problem and to become part of a large research community using multi-disciplinary approaches to tackle today's important research questions. Throughout your PhD you will not only strengthen your research skills and knowledge within your research area but also develop skills through our training programmes as well as through attendance as seminars and conferences.

Drawing on a multidisciplinary framework, our research evaluates population-level approaches for the promotion of active living and translates this evidence into strategies capable of providing clear public health advice and action.
