Funding is often secured through Wellcome Trust or MRC DTP Fellowships. Further information about this and specific projects studying under the supervision of Departmental supervisors who have obtained funding are advertised below.

For up-to-date information on tuition fees, please refer to the University's Fees and Funding pages. It should be noted that supervisors may charge an additional ‘bench fee’ from sponsors to cover the costs of laboratory expenses (consumables and equipment) for postgraduate research projects.

Seeing the Invisible: Ultrasound Imaging of
Metabolism in Living Animals

This is an opportunity to work at the forefront of biomedical imaging. You will join a world-class, multi-institution team working on a powerful new technology, genetically encoded acoustic reporter genes (ARGs), a “GFP for ultrasound” that makes specific cell populations visible deep inside a living animal. This PhD project will use that technology to answer critical, unresolved questions about how the body controls blood glucose and body weight.

The President’s PhD Scholarship

The College provides the home UKRI fee rate and a bursary. Departments pay the home tuition fee top-up i.e. the difference between the UKRI home tuition fee rate and the Department’s home tuition fee rate.
 
Application - Complete 911½ñÈÕºÚÁÏ's by the deadline stated on The President’s PhD Scholarship Webpages. 

Prior to applying - Applicants must have made contact with a supervisor who has agreed to supervise their research project. Supervisors are limited to supervise one student at any time. Once you have a supervisor who has agreed to support you, please email researchdegreeenquiries@imperial.ac.uk so your PhD scholarship application can be prioritised for review and shortlisting.

MultiSci MRC DTP Studentship

This is a 1+3 Studentship which provides funding for the MRes Biomedical Research in Year 1 and, after successful completion, 3 years’ funding for a PhD. 

CSC Joint Funding

911½ñÈÕºÚÁÏ holds responsibility for fee payment whilst bursary payment is delegated to supervisors.

Students are not permitted to apply for fees-only studentships.

CSC Fully Funded Scholarship

Students should apply directly to the CSC usually through their ‘home’ Chinese institution. Further information is available from the ‘home’ Chinese institution.

Fees and stipend are paid in full by Central College funding.

This is managed by Britta Ross - CDT Manager - UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in AI for Healthcare. The AI CDT is managed by Computing, Engineering where all students are registered irrespective of supervisors’ Departments. The 2:1 financial cost sharing model of the CDT is as follows: 2/3 of the PhD student costs are covered by the CDT and 1/3 (or 1/6 if two joint supervisors) of the PhD student costs are covered by the supervisors.
