How to Apply

A key feature of the partnership is its flexibility. DTP-funded students can undertake one of several different types of PhD/DPhil course on offer in any area within the remit of the Medical Research Council.

Candidates interested in applying for one of the projects advertised under the umbrella of MRC Enterprise Studentship Programme 2024 should follow the process outlined in the How to Apply section of the programme's information.

Candidates interested in applying for other projects should apply to departments hosting these projects. All candidates who apply to departments before 12 noon (UK time) on 1st December 2023 to pursue projects that align with MRC research priorities while providing training in one or more of the MRC priority skills will automatically be considered for Oxford-MRC DTP funding through the Medical Sciences Graduate School Studentship Competition. Separate application to the Oxford-MRC DTP is not needed.
