We invite proposals for MPhil or PhD environmental sciences projects in the fields of applied and environmental biology.
We conduct research on organisms and processes of commercial and environmental importance. We embrace experimental approaches that encompass:
- genomics
- molecular biology
- biochemistry
- physiology
Our research provides evidence for the underlying molecular and physiological processes that affect animal behaviour and physiology.Our research is driven by the desire to develop new biological systems that address health, food, energy and water security. The applied nature of our work has led to the launch of successful spin-out companies, such as Geneius. These companies offer graduate employment opportunities and make a substantial contribution to the local economy. The commercial applications that result from our research range from natural products discovery and creation of novel antimicrobials and biopesticides to sustainable methods of reducing food spoilage.
Applied and environmental biology research is based in the School of Natural and Environmental Sciences.

With over 185 undergraduate degrees across 39 subject areas to choose from, it’s easy to find your perfect course at Newcastle University.
Most of our undergraduate courses are three, four, or five years in length, depending on the subject you choose. You can also broaden your focus – choosing one of our well-established Joint Honours degrees or blending two or three of over 20 courses with our Combined Honours programme.
You’ll benefit from an outstanding learning experience – our teaching is 5-star (QS Stars 2022) – and because our pioneering research as a Russell Group university will feed into your degree, you’ll learn at the cutting edge of your discipline.

Industry-sponsored events and in-degree opportunities including work shadowing, work experience, internships and volunteering, will give you a new perspective of the world and your future career.
Your degree could also take you to another country – either as a compulsory part of your studies or as something you choose to do, extending your degree by up to 12 months.
You’ll build the skills to become a highly desirable graduate:

Newcastle University offers more than 300 postgraduate degrees across taught and research study options.
Read LessOur taught Masters’ degrees are normally 12 months in length if studied full-time, with flexible and part-time study options also available. Learning is fast-paced and thought-provoking, and we encourage you to apply your own ideas and experience to your studies.
Depending on the subject, teaching is delivered via a range of lectures, seminars, group projects, lab-based sessions, technical skills development, and practical experiments. At Newcastle, we also offer a wide range of research degrees at doctoral level (PhDs, Integrated PhD and professional doctorates) and Master's level (Mlitt, MPhil and MRes). As a globally respected university, our research ‘power’ has grown by 65% since 2014 (REF 2021), and our researchers are pushing the boundaries of knowledge. As a research student at Newcastle University, you’ll be part of something truly special.
Financial support and scholarships
We know that how you pay for your postgraduate studies is very important. We offer funding opportunities to a wide range of students throughout the year. Our searchable funding database is updated weekly with new scholarships, opportunities, grants, and discounts.
We offer an Alumni Progression Discount to eligible UK alumni from disadvantaged backgrounds when they continue their studies with us. An Alumni Progression Scholarship towards living costs is available for eligible UK and international alumni.
What our students think
‘The teaching and learning approach at Newcastle involves an interactive approach and innovative tasks that helps students to become more creative.’ Rakshya
‘No other university could offer me this approach to my course. Other institutions prepare either tech-enthusiasts or business graduates, but the combination of both that’s provided at Newcastle is required to succeed in the real world.’ Ayman
‘START UP helps people to make a job when they can’t take a job. Its step-by-step approach gave me the confidence and courage of my convictions to make my business a success.’ Dan
