Population Health Sciences is part of the Bristol Medical School. Staff in the school are leaders in their fields and have extensive national and international research collaborations, with several providing health policy advice for government organisations and international bodies. Our staff are multi-disciplinary and include statisticians, epidemiologists, geneticists, sociologists, psychologists, anthropologists, health economists, public health physicians, medical ethicists, computational biologists, neuroscientists, and various community-based physicians and nurses. We are keen to attract graduates from all these disciplines to carry out postgraduate research. The school has approximately 80 postgraduate research students. In the 2017 Postgraduate Research Experience Survey, 90 per cent of our students were satisfied with their postgraduate experience. Ratings for quality of supervision, resources, research culture, progress assessment, research skills training and professional development all exceeded sector averages. A selection of fully funded PhD opportunities are available within the school. We have a Wellcome Trust four-year PhD programme in Molecular, Genetic and Lifecourse Epidemiology. The MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit provides four-year PhD opportunities on a range of cross-disciplinary projects integrating molecular and other data to investigate the causal effects of potentially modifiable exposures on health-related outcomes. The NIHR Biomedical Research Centre offers a number of PhD studentships in translational research relevant to population health, and the school also hosts cross-disciplinary studentships as part of the BHF Integrative Cardiovascular Science PhD programme. The majority of our final-year research students express a wish to continue in the field of research. Since 2000, ten PhD students have progressed to professor and ten to lecturer or senior lecturer. Among recent PhD graduates, 88 per cent now work in the academic sector, with the remainder working in the health and private sectors. In addition to excellent research training, we our students develop a range of transferable skills to ensure they have the best possible opportunities whatever their chosen career.
