Pharmaceutical Technologies offer PhD studentships within its areas of expertise (subject to availability of funding and eligibility of the candidate). These fall into three categories depending on the source of funding: DMU Studentships; Research Council Studentships; Self-Funded Studentships.

General information for Research Students (e.g. registration procedures) can be found on the Research Degrees Section of the University website.

Availability: Fully funded studentships depend on what grants have been awarded to the group (for example, from the UK research councils). From time to time, De Montfort University will pay certain costs towards a studentship. However, it is often the case that the funding provided will only extend to the payment of the home student fees. International students would therefore be expected to top up the fees to the international student

Eligibility: Studentships funded by the UK Research Councils (e.g. EPSRC) are ONLY offered to UK and EU citizens. Studentships funded by De Montfort University, and self-funded studentships are open to all.

DMU Funded Studentships

Currently, we do not have any DMU funded research studentship vacancies in the Pharmaceutical Technologies group.

Research Council: EPSRC Industrial CASE awards

Individuals holding UK and EU passports may apply for an EPSRC CASE award through the Pharmaceutical Technologies group (subject to availability). These awards cover University fees and your bursary (for living expenses). Contact any of our staff to discuss opportunities for developing a CASE award application to the EPSRC. 

Self-Funded Studentships

If you are self funded (for example, an international student with financial support from your own government, or family) and interested in working with any of our staff, then please contact them to discuss your interests. Information on living costs while studying at De Montfort University and the fees payable are given on the International Section of the main University website.
