Brain Research Trust Prize, MRC & other Studentships

Details of MPhil/PhD projects available at the Institute are published on the Institute web site in December and January each year. The list is not exhaustive and applications are welcomed from prospective students interested in other areas of neurological studies. Please refer to the Research Departments web site for an outline of the research groups at the Institute.

The Brain Research Trust provides funding via the BRT Prize Studentship award. Studentships for the forthcoming academic session are advertised in December with a normal closing date for application of the end of January. All students interested in registering for a PhD at the Institute of Neurology are strongly encouraged to submit an application for this scheme.

The BRT Studentships are for three years, and offer an initial stipend of £18,848 per annum, plus home tuition fees and £500 per annum for travel. Closing date 31st January 2008. Please note, funding covers only UK/EU fees. A non-EU applicant would need to find additional funding to support the difference between the home and the overseas tuition fee.

MRC Studentships: Information to follow.

Applications (preferably in electronic format pdf or word doc) are invited from graduates holding First or Upper Second Class Honours degrees in basic biological or physical sciences, or from final year undergraduate students expecting to be awarded similar degrees in 2008.
