Funding & Scholarships
If you have decided that you would like do a PhD at the Jenner Institute and are looking for studentship funding, please consult the links below. When you have identified a funding scheme to apply for, please send a full CV and cover letter stating your motivation and detailing your plans for securing funding to: jenner-enquiries@ndm.ox.ac.uk.
Please remember to contact us well in advance of the deadline so we have time to review your CV and agree on a possible project you could undertake if your application is successful. The Institute hosts and supervises many PhD students, but does not itself fund studentships. We are unfortunately unable to consider applications without prior guarantee of funding, or an application process for funding in progress.
