Applications are now open for the Wellcome Trust’s flagship Four-year PhD Studentships.

The Programmes aim to support the most promising students to undertake in-depth postgraduate research training.

There are 27 Programmes available, based in centres of excellence throughout the UK. These centres provide specialised training at the cutting edge of a wide range of important biomedical research areas, including neuroscience, immunology and infectious disease and genetics, statistics and epidemiology.

A key feature is the combination of taught courses with laboratory rotations in the first year, which broaden students' knowledge of the subject area. This allows students to make an informed choice on their three-year PhD research project.

The support offered includes a stipend for four years, PhD registration fees at UK/EU student rate, research expenses, general training funds and some travel costs.

Please contact the relevant PhD Programme if you an interested in applying.
