Prospective PhD students
The LMB International PhD Programme attracts every year students from universities all over the world to do cutting-edge research in a prestigious, inspiring, and supportive environment. Between 20-30 new graduate students are selected every year at the LMB. After acceptance, selected students register to the University of Cambridge and become members of one of its 32 colleges.
Prospective PhD students to our group can check whether the Lancaster laboratory is advertising PhD projects and get informed about how to apply. Expressions of interest can also be sent to Madeline by email.
