| PhD Students |
We aim to recruit PhD students who have or expect to obtain a very good honours degree in Life Sciences. They should also have an aptitude for experimental work and be highly committed to pursuing a career in cancer research. The Beatson has an excellent reputation and success record in training its graduate students who go on to research positions throughout the world. Students, whilst being trained at the Institute working within our research groups, matriculate with the University of Glasgow. ![]() Our studentships, which are funded by Cancer Research UK for 4 years, usually start in October and provide students with a non-taxable stipend (for their living expenses) as well as their university matriculation fees. Studentships are open to UK, EU and non-EU graduates. Places are usually advertised in October with a deadline for applications in November and interviews in January, for a start date the following year. See the Studentships page for more details. We will consider applications from self-funded students at anytime but they will still be subject to our normal evaluation and interview procedures. Again, see the Studentships page for more details. |
