Eligibility

Bio-Boost studentships are open to UK (home) students only.

You can apply if you have, or are expecting to gain, at least an upper second class honours degree or equivalent.  Although 2:1 is the minimum requirement to be considered for a PhD, we can occasionally request an academic waiver to the usual entry requirement if you have relevant industrial experience. 

The Bio-Boost iDLA is committed to recruiting extraordinary future researchers regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation or career pathway to date. We understand that commitment and excellence can be shown in many ways and have built our recruitment process to reflect this. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, particularly those underrepresented in research, who have curiosity, creativity and a drive to learn new skills. 

Our equality, diversity and inclusion page details the strategies we employ in our recruitment process to reduce bias and support student from under represented backgrounds.

Not all projects will be funded; a limited number of candidates will be appointed via a competitive process.
