Other Funded Programmes
Wellcome Trust 4 year PhD Programmes
These programmes are open to students from any country, and applications and admissions for the separate themes are handled centrally in the University. The awards are generous, and although the fees are paid at the EEA rate International students who are offered places can seek funding from Clarendon/ORS Scholarships. For more details see here.
The first year of each programme consists of taught courses or laboratory rotations, after which the students are assigned a Department and spend three years of independent research in a single laboratory (in this respect, the programme differs from the NDM Prize Studentships, which are for 4 years in a single laboratory). Supervisors in the NDM participate in the following themes: Genomic Medicine and Statistics; Structural Biology: from Molecules to Cells; Infection, Immunology and Translational Medicine; Chromosome and Developmental Biology: The Cell in Heredity and Development.
Wellcome Trust Training Fellowships for Clinicians
These 3 year studentships enable qualified clinicians to study for a D.Phil. in the basic science of the following themes: Neurosciences, Infection and Immunity, cardiovascular Medicine, Haematology and Haematopoiesis and Metabolic Medicine (which also includes diabetes, endocrinology and nephrology).
