University of Manchester
Four-year fully funded PhD studentships at the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute, one of the charity's core research institutes and part of the University of Manchester. The stipend starts at GBP 22,500 in year one and rises 1.75 percent annually, and university tuition fees are covered for UK, EU and international students alike, which is comparatively rare for UK cancer studentships. Applicants need a first or upper second-class undergraduate honours degree or equivalent plus research experience gained through coursework or a relevant master's. Recruitment runs in an annual round with interviews in the spring; further rounds are opened when positions remain unfilled, so the institute advises watching its site rather than assuming a single closed deadline is the end of the cycle.
