SIR WILLIAM DUNN SCHOOL OF PATHOLOGY UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD PHD SCHOLARSHIP

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: Early December 2024

LOCATION: England

The DPhil in Molecular Cell Biology in Health and Disease at the Dunn School is their flagship PhD programme for graduate students. Every year they admit up to 16 students from all over the world and provide them with 4 years of hands-on research experience, comprehensive training and a full range of opportunities to fully develop their potential and become the next leaders in their field of choice.

ELIGIBILITY:

They have no restrictions on nationality, and our current graduate community represents over 30 countries. Most of our students come from outside the UK. If you are offered a funded place on our programme, we will cover the cost of the international fees.

If you are an international student, after completing your PhD you are entitled to remain in the UK for a further 3 years on a flexible Graduate Visa.

Apart from a short induction period, there is no other compulsory coursework in our PhD programme. However, you will have access to a comprehensive skills training programme over the four years with them. This includes workshops, seminars and symposia. One of the highlights is their annual Graduate Student’s Symposium, where students have the opportunity to present posters and talk about their ongoing work.

There are also other training opportunities outside our PhD programme. As a member of the University, you will have access to the full range of Oxford’s training courses. The Dunn School also runs workshops and talks covering a variety of topics that are open to all members of the department. If you need access to a training course not available in Oxford, we also have internal funding schemes to support your career development goals.

If you miss the application deadline for the funded programme (early December), you can also do a PhD at the Dunn School via other routes.

BENEFIT:

Most applicants awarded a place through our PhD programme application process have their university and college fees covered, and will also receive a generous tax-free stipend (currently £21,737pa for 24/25) and research expenses, training and travel allowance (£5,300pa).
