We have a small number of places available every year
for students to study for a PhD. These are funded by the
MRC.
Individuals who are awarded MRC research studentships carry out
a research project over three or four years, leading to a
PhD. They receive training in research methods and personal
skills. In certain circumstances, a research studentship may
be linked to a Masters Studentship, so that a student may undertake
a four-year research training programme.

out more about MRC studentships.
Funding usually covers the fees for the PhD
and a tax-free payment, the "maintenance stipend". Fully
funded studentships are available to eligible applicants with a
"relevant connection" to the UK. Applicants from the EU who
cannot demonstrate a relevant connection, through ordinary
residence in the UK for 3 years, may apply for a ‘fees-only’
award.
