ABViP Studentships 2023 Entry
Nine projects for September/October 2023 entry have now been selected by the ABViP Management Board and student applications are being accepted.
The partnership will support the successful student with:
- Tax-free stipend per year (4-years), UKRI standard stipend plus the additional London weighting for the UCL candidates
- Fully funded PhD/DPhil Tuition
- Project equipment & materials
- Academic and industrial supervisors
- Development programmes to support the transition into industry after the doctoral training programme is completed.
The projects are listed below including which of the two academic partner organisations the student will register with for their PhD/DPhil and the name of the primary supervisor. Each student will be appointed an industrial supervisor from Oxford Biomedica who will be chosen on the basis of their background skills and expertise relevant to the specific project.

Equality, Diversity & Inclusion
At Oxford Biomedica we recognise the importance of investing in early talent, and we are passionate about supporting the scientific leaders of the future within cell and gene therapy especially as the industry continues to grow.
The CTP intends to attract the very best people to the available PhD / DPhil programmes. Students trained through the ABViP-CTP will gain a holistic insight into the research and development activities required to create the medicines of the future from both an academic and industrial perspective.
However, we understand the challenges for those who are thinking about their next steps including, the barriers PhD/DPhil studies can bring, whether it be financial or career starting opportunities that contribute to a skills gap within this sector. We particularly welcome applicants from disadvantaged backgrounds or via an unconventional career path.
