PhD studentships
The CRE offered a small number of fully funded four-year interdisciplinary PhD studentships for 2025/26.
The studentships will train successful applicants to be competitive scientists in the highly challenging, but uniquely exciting, environment of interdisciplinary research.
Please note that applications for 2025/26 are now closed.
About the studentships
The studentships will be four years in duration, with no integrated master's course. However, students will be able to participate in selected modules of particularly relevant master's courses. These studentships may therefore be particularly suitable if you already have a master's-level qualification.
The projects on offer will aim to develop students who have excellent understanding and technical capabilities in interdisciplinary cardiovascular research. Usually, this will be in two disciplines.
The programme will offer interdisciplinary projects in the CRE's areas of focus:
- cardiovascular genomics and development
- cardio-inflammation
- heart failure
- cardiovascular data science
- computational modelling and simulation.
The support offered by the studentships will consist of fees, a stipend (at British Heart Foundation rates) and consumables for the project, for four years.
Learn more about the studentships on the British Heart Foundation Centre of Research Excellence Studentships page.
