Wellcome Trust 4-year PhD Programme

The Molecular Basis of Biological Mechanisms

Eligibility

Our principal aim is to attract students of the highest intellectual quality who are excited by the molecular and structural biology revolution and by the prospect of a demanding multidisciplinary programme. In return we can offer a stimulating and challenging environment. Students with at least a 2.1 degree in any area of the life sciences and physical sciences, including Biochemistry, Physics, Chemistry and related disciplines are invited to apply.

Unfortunately we will not be recruiting on to this programme for 2020 entry.

Applicants of any nationality are eligible to apply but the award only covers living expenses plus fees at the UK/EU rate. Students from outside the EU will have to provide evidence of the ability to pay the difference between the EU rate and the full international rate.

  • £12000 p.a. for lab consumables
