The Department of Life Sciences embraces the full breadth of modern life science activity and comprises one of the largest life science groups in Europe, with approximately 100 academic staff, 200 research staff, and 400 postgraduate students. The Department has an outstanding international reputation for research, being home to several major research centres and with the majority of research being graded as world leading or internationally excellent in the most recent Research Assessment Exercise.

We also have excellent facilities for postgraduate research and 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.


Contents

This research-based course provides students with an understanding of the basic and applied aspects of research in the field of crop protection:

* Entomology
* Plant pathology (bacteria, fungi, nematodes and viruses)
* Chemical and biological control

The course can be based either at the Silwood Park Campus or the South Kensington Campus or can be split between the two. Both campuses have a large, research-active staff, state-of-the-art facilities, and wide links to academic researchers, ecologists, conservation biologists, applied entomologists and crop protection professionals in the UK and abroad, providing ideal course facilities. The course comprises a comprehensive lecture and seminar series with two 19-week research projects. It equips science graduates with the necessary skills to proceed to a PhD and an established career in applied crop protection and related areas, e.g. forestry or the agrochemical industry.

Candidates will normally be expected to hold a first or upper second class Honours degree, or equivalent, in an appropriate science subject. Some bursaries are available.
