CREATE PhD Fellowship Programme (Wellcome Trust)

The CREATE PhD Fellowship Programme (Wellcome Trust) provides funded PhD fellowships for healthcare professionals from eligible African countries. The programme funds a limited number of fellowships each year and allows fellows to register for a PhD at either a home or a UK partner institution. Funding supports research costs and associated training over a multi-year period. The programme is funded by the Wellcome Trust and administered by the CREATE PhD initiative.

Matched salary; research expenses; home-rate tuition fees; training and travel costs for three years; may include living expenses.

Open to applicants from a long list of African countries (see eligibility_region_text) who are healthcare professionals seeking PhD-level study and meeting the programme's eligible level requirements.

Prepare academic transcripts, recommendation letters and a personal statement, then submit an application via the official programme website before the deadline.
