  • PHD Studentships

    Successful candidates are appointed for a 3 months pre-registration position during which they are assessed for their readiness and ability to register for a PhD. At the end of this period, students are formally assessed and only allowed to submit their university registration application if they pass the examination; otherwise, the studentship is withdrawn. Registration is subject to meeting the full requirements of the target university. At the end of the first year of registration, students undergo an upgrading assessment.

    Partial studentships are targeted at students who are already registered for PhD in local universities and provide support for the students to spend time at KEMRI-Wellcome carrying out their research project. Normally, partial studentships run for a shorter period than full studentships.
