PhDs

We currently have seven PhD studentships running. PhD studentships are linked to our project and priority areas. As well as the scientific quality of the proposal and strength of the supervisory team, projects have been selected because of the fit with our aims and objectives, and relevance to the needs and priorities of the wider health and care system. 

Please note, we have filled all our PhD studentship places for this round of funding, so do not have any more opportunities planned.
