MRC studentships (UK and EU applicants who satisfy eligibility requirements)
Each year the MRC funds a number of studentships at the PPU and are awarded for up to a period of 3.5 or 4 years. The first 9 months of 4-year studentships comprise two 4.5-month rotation projects carried out in different research groups, before the final choice of supervisor is made.
We ask potential applicants to note that there are eligibility criteria for these studentships relating to academic qualifications and nationality. However we welcome all applications from UK citizens and EU nationals as they maybe eligible for other sources of funding, see below. Further information regarding eligibility can be found on the main MRC website
The studentship covers University tuition fees and for 2014/15 the tax-free stipend is £20000 per annum, which is joint-funded by the MRC and our commercial fund. Additional benefits of the MRC studentship include reasonable costs of travel to Dundee and an allocation of £2000 to attend conferences and training courses.

External funding sources

  • We also welcome PhD applications from international students as there are studentships available for outstanding applicants who do not meet the eligibility criteria for MRC funded studentships.

Project-specific funding

  • Occasionally we advertise projects that are supported by other funding bodies. Details of this type of funding will be attached to the individual projects that apply.

PhD Applications

  • Please indicate which type of studentship you are applying for a MRC 3.5 or 4 year (includes 2 x 4.5 months of rotation projects) studentship
