Studentship Funding
This page provides details of studentship schemes which may be of interest to researchers at the Institute. These can be characterised as either individual (supporting an individual student and project) or programmatic (supporting a cohort of students with the application made at departmental or organisational level).
If you are
considering making a studentship application, please visit the funder’s website
for further details of the studentship itself and the funder’s scientific
remit. Always refer to the latest version of the funder’s guidance and
eligibility criteria. Please also contact the IoO Education Office (Leigh Kilpert) to confirm the eligibility of the project and supervisors for a registered PhD at UCL.
The first table below shows opportunities for non-clinicians, and the second shows opportunities for clinicians and allied health professionals.
