How to apply

NDM Prize Studentships

When completing the online application form please read the University Guide and take note of the following:

Course Code is 001810 and the Programme description is ‘Doctor of Philosophy in Clinical Medicine' (page 2 of the application form).
Under Proposed field and title of research project put 'NDM Prize Studentship Competition' (page 2).
Advertised Reference Code is '12CLINMED01' (page 6).
The NDM Prize Studentship can be included as a funding source by choosing ‘Departmental Award', with an application status of ‘applied to' (page 6).
All Students are eligible to the Clarendon Funds and must tick the relevant boxes (page 6).
For Statement of study plans/Research Proposal please list up to three of the available projects from three supervisors that you are interested in (use the reference numbers on the list of projects). It is necessary to rank them at this stage. Be careful not to chose more than one project containing the same supervisor or co-supervisor. A brief personal statement may also be included but a detailed research proposal is not needed (page 7).
A CV should be uploaded which includes your final year school results (A-level, baccalaureate or equivalent) and full details of your research experience. You will need to ensure, in good time, that your referees are willing and able to write a reference for you. We must receive your references no later than the application deadline. It is your responsibility to ensure that your references are submitted on time (page 8).

University administration requires a single credit card payment of £50 to accompany your application. Unfortunately, no other form of payment is acceptable for online appications.

Interviews for shortlisted candidates for admission usually take place towards the end of January. Applicants will need to be available at this time and will have an opportunity to visit the laboratories. We can alternatively conduct interviews with overseas students online.

Offers from the Department become unconditional when we have received original degree transcripts from the applicant's University together with any necessary language certificate. Colleges will also require proof of funding.
