4-year PhD Studentships, apply now!

We have multiple fully-funded studentships available for our core 4-year PhD programme commencing in October 2025. These studentships provide a generous stipend (£25K per year), tuition fees and consumables for 4 years.

The MRC LMS PhD programme is aimed at exceptional undergraduates with a keen interest in pursuing ground-breaking interdisciplinary research, who are interested in learning how to think broadly to tackle a problem. We welcome applications from biologists, engineers and physical scientists who have a passion for the biology of health and disease.

Applications for 2025 starters are now CLOSED. We expect to have information for our 2026 programme in the Autumn of 2025
