Studentships

Programmes at the Centre offer the opportunity to learn in a supportive and stimulating environment from leaders in the field. The experts are actively engaged in research and advise leading public health professionals, policymakers, governments, international organisations and pharmaceutical companies. Both national and internationally focussed, their work includes real-time analysis of infectious disease outbreaks and focus on emerging and endemic diseases including pandemic influenza, HIV, TB, malaria, polio and neglected tropical diseases (NTDs).

There are multiple opportunities across Imperial College in which the Centre may be allocated successful students according to research areas.  You are encouraged to get in touch with potential supervisors within the Centre to discuss your ideas in advance of application. Questions and applications should be via the relevant scheme processes which are not administered by the Centre.  Please see individual programme pages for further information and details on how to apply.  

 If you are an international student and would like to apply for a PhD in the department please refer to the international scholarship page and President’s scholarship.

Find out from previous students how their student experience was doing their placement at the Centre.

HealthBRIDGE is an exciting and innovative 1+3-year PhD training initiative designed to improve human health and drive UK economic growth funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC) through its Doctoral Landscape Award (DLA) scheme.

Unlike traditional routes to a PhD, HealthBRIDGE is student-led meaning that you design your PhD project through a 1+3 training structure (year 1 lab rotations followed by a PhD in years 2-4).  We are looking for academically excellent, highly motivated and outward looking research students who will thrive from HealthBRIDGE’s unique cohort-based training, who will embrace opportunities for collaboration with non-academic partners and who are eager to develop the digital, commercial and entrepreneurial skills needed to help transform their discoveries into real-world healthcare solutions.
