PhD in Zoology MPhil/PhD

How have animals evolved, how do they function, and how do they interact with their environments? Lincoln's zoology research programme takes on those questions across animal anatomy, physiology, behaviour, ecology, evolution and conservation.

Research sits within the Department of Life Sciences' five research groups, and the advice to applicants is direct: find the topic you're passionate about, then approach the staff member whose expertise fits before you apply. Students present at national and international conferences, produce progress reports, and are trained to write for peer-reviewed publication under their supervisors' guidance. Enrolment is flexible — applications are welcome at any point in the year, with start dates agreed individually alongside the standard October and January intakes.
