Student Research
Undergraduate and Postgraduate Research in BMS
We offer an inclusive, thriving, and dynamic community within which research students can train and undertake world-class biomedical research.
If you are an Undergraduate student, check out our Black British summer internships that are funded by our MRC Doctoral Training Partnership.
For those embarking upon Postgraduate Research (PGR) degrees, students benefit from cohort training events, an annual symposium to showcase their work and support for conference attendance.
If you are interested in applying for a PGR studentship to do research in the Biomedical Sciences, you should identify a supervisor from our People webpage (Principal Investigators & Clinical Faculty) and contact the WMS PGR team (wms.rdcoord@warwick.ac.uk) for guidance on how to apply.
Discover more information on the WMS PGR webpages.
When applying, please ensure that you specify the name of the project and supervisor within your application. Projects may not have funding available now but there are great opportunities for individual students to apply for funding through various sources, including:
- Chancellor's International Scholarship
- China Scholarship Council
- Doctoral Access Scholarships - Sanctuary
- Warwick-Monash Alliance
Further funding and scholarships information can also be found on the University's Doctoral College Scholarships & Funding pages.
We welcome applicants from the UK, EU and Overseas for our programmes.
