MIBTP PhD Studentship 2027

The Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership (MIBTP) PhD Studentship is a funded doctoral studentship programme delivered across partner UK universities (Aston, Birmingham, Coventry, Harper Adams, Leicester and Warwick). Studentships provide funding for up to four years and support research in interdisciplinary bioscience topics. Awards cover UK tuition fees and provide a stipend at the UKRI standard; some partner institutions may also cover the international fee difference. Applicants are shortlisted and interviewed through a coordinated process managed by MIBTP and the partner institutions.

UK tuition fee coverage, UKRI-standard stipend to support living costs, four-year studentship duration; some partner institutions may cover international fee difference.

Applicants should hold a first or high 2.1 undergraduate degree in a relevant field; applicants with a low 2.1 plus a Master’s or at least three years postgraduate experience may be eligible. Home (UK) students must meet UK residency or settled/pre-settled/indefinite leave requirements; applicants not meeting home criteria will be classed as international students.

Complete the ED&I expression-of-interest form and submit an application to the specific partner university hosting the chosen PhD project (Aston, Birmingham, Coventry, Harper Adams, Leicester or Warwick). Shortlisted applicants are invited to interview; referees will be asked to submit references after application.
