National Institutes of Health Oxford/Cambridge Programme PhD

University of Cambridge

This is a four-year PhD programme in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) whereby students spend two years at Cambridge and two years at the NIH. This innovative programme was established in 2002. Its aim is to train outstanding students in biomedical research, taking advantage of the excellent research environments available in Cambridge and at NIH laboratories in the US. Students work on collaborative projects organised by co-supervisors in Cambridge and the NIH, spending two years at each institution. Students have access to all NIH facilities and are paid a stipend by the NIH, which also pays the University fees, plus flights and insurance. In Cambridge they have access to all the University resources. The PhD is awarded by the University of Cambridge.
