PhD Studentship: Investigating molecular drivers of enhancer rewiring in blood cancers

University of Birmingham

This is a fully funded 3-year PhD studentship to join the group of Dr Tianyi Zhang in the Department of Cancer and Genomics Sciences to investigate molecular mechanisms of genome regulation in multiple myeloma. Precise gene regulation is essential for normal development and is frequently subverted disease. Transcription factors (TFs) and chromatin modifying complexes regulate gene expression by shaping the epigenetic landscape on chromatin. Mutations and dysregulation in transcriptional regulators are a hallmark...

PhD Studentship: Actuated microdevices for oral delivery of biologics

University of Birmingham

Most biological drugs cannot be given orally because of their poor oral bioavailability, necessitating delivery by injection instead. This is because features of the gastrointestinal tract that prevent infection, such as a thick mucus layer and tight epithelial junctions, also block large therapeutic molecules. Researchers have investigated various techniques to overcome these barriers, such as chemical permeation enhancers, ultrasound, and microneedles. Studies have also shown that mechanical stimulation via na...

PhD Studentship: Predictive modelling and control of low-cost droplets for micro-engineering

University of Birmingham

Advances in manufacturing science have resulted in unprecedented research and development in the design of ‘micro-swimmers’: microscopic entities that navigate fluid environments by converting some form of energy–e.g. electrical, magnetic, acoustic, or chemical–into mechanical motion. These swimmers are expanding the frontiers of micro-engineering and can be used in tasks such as chemical analysis for medical diagnostics, targeted drug delivery, cell sorting for biological assays, and chemical sensing for enviro...

PhD Studentship: Materials-reinforced multifunctional coatings for built environments

University of Exeter

Porous construction materials, such as concrete, brick, or wood, are widely utilised in built environments due to their structural strength, durability, and thermal mass. However, their susceptibility to water ingress can lead to issues such as surface degradation, internal cracking, frost damage, and biological colonisation. Prolonged exposure to moisture makes these materials particularly vulnerable to mould growth, which accelerates structural decay, compromises indoor air quality, and poses significant healt...

Scholarship search questions

How can international students find scholarships in 2026/27?

Filter current listings by eligible nationality, host country, study level, field, funding type, and deadline. Open each result and verify the final rules and application route with the official provider.

Are all scholarships on this page fully funded?

No. Funding can range from tuition-only awards to scholarships that also include a stipend, travel, insurance, accommodation, or research support. Check the benefits and exclusions in the official call.

What documents are commonly required for scholarship applications?

Common documents include a passport or identity document, transcripts, certificates, a CV, a personal statement or statement of purpose, and referee details. The provider may also request admission evidence, language results, a research proposal, or certified translations.

Does appearing in the search mean I am eligible?

No. Search filters help identify possible matches, but the official scholarship call determines eligibility. Confirm nationality, residence, grades, study level, field, experience, admission, and nomination rules before applying.

How does Prime Scholarship Alerts verify a listing?

Listings provide source links and recorded check dates where available. A missing date means no check date is recorded. These summaries are discovery aids; confirm eligibility, funding, deadline and application instructions on the current provider page.
