Masters Courses
The Department of Life Sciences offers excellent facilities for advanced taught courses in a wide range of subjects considered to be essential aspects of the life sciences. As a recognised centre of excellence in both training and research, we receive one of the highest levels of funding in the country. This enables us to support a large number of research groups with a diversity of research interests.
Many of our postgraduate courses and most of our staff are based at the South Kensington Campus (SK), but several of our postgraduate courses are held at Silwood Park (SP), our campus in Berkshire near Ascot. The latter have formal links and joint appointments with both the Natural History Museum (London), the Royal Botanical Gardens (Kew), the zoological Society of London and the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust.
