The Bloomsbury Colleges PhD Studentships

The Bloomsbury Colleges is a consortium of six University of London colleges comprising Birkbeck (Bbk), The Institute of Education (IoE), The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), The Royal Veterinary College (RVC), The School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) and The School of Pharmacy (SoP).

The Consortium offers twelve PhD Studentships annually, each of three year's duration, to start in October of the given year.  The Studentships  cover course fees (at the usual level for UK and E.U. studentships) and a student stipend.  They encompass a wide range of topics spanning the biomedical and social sciences, reflecting the diversity of disciplines represented in the consortium.  The Studentships will be supervised by two of the partner colleges.

Applications will go to the relevant Studentship's Lead College.
