Bachelor of Business Studies in Equine Business at Maynooth University

Join us for your MPhil or PhD in Biology. Our research-active academic staff will support you. Supervision is available in a number of research areas.

Ecology and conservation

Our Ecology and Conservation Research Group works to understand patterns observed in nature - species and habitats. This often includes anthropogenic effects.

We collaborate with a variety of organisations concerned with species and habitat conservation, including statutory responsibility. We work with research partners and conservation practitioners from the UK and across the globe.

Our research covers:

• genetics
• conservation
• human-wildlife interactions
• ecology

Biological, clinical and environmental systems modelling

The Biological, clinical and environmental systems modelling group focuses on analysing the structure and dynamics of complex biological and clinical systems. We have a specific interest in investigating spatially and temporally heterogeneous processes in biology. We are driven by practical problem solving through the use of modelling.

Applied and environmental biology

We conduct research on organisms and processes of commercial and environmental importance. Our experimental approaches include:

• genomics
• molecular biology
• biochemistry
• physiology

Some examples of the commercial applications we develop include:

• natural products discovery
• creation of novel antimicrobials and biopesticides
• sustainable methods of reducing food spoilage
• microbes involved in biofuel production
• uses of microbes in bioremediation of polluted environments

As Biology PhD student you'll play an important role in our active research portfolio.

Northeastern's Master of Science in Bioinformatics/1-Year Experiential is a work-aligned, intensive, experience-based, and in-demand degree for students hoping to play a pivotal role in the life sciences, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industries. The accelerated program provides experiential opportunities sponsored by leading companies to help you refine real-world skills and provide career connections for post-graduation employment. The program is best suited to students able to devote a year to full-time learning.

The degree builds on four pillars (core curriculum, experiential learning, student services, talent acquisition) to create an evidence-based and work-based learning experience. Together, they deliver a robust, industry-aligned curriculum with opportunities centered on employer engagement, problem-solving, and critical-thinking skills.

Our research-based MRes in Molecular and Cellular Biosciences provides practical training and a highly specialised biochemical education.

The course is best suited for graduates in biochemistry, biology, structural biology, biomedical sciences and related disciplines.

There is considerable flexibility to focus on specialist subjects in line with your research interests and career intentions.
