PhD programmes

The John Innes Foundation Rotation PhD Programme in Plant and Microbial Sciences is a prestigious four-year PhD programme that trains graduate students in Plant and Microbial Sciences at the John Innes Centre and The Sainsbury Laboratory. The Programme gives you the chance to select three mini (10-week) projects in your first eight months, before narrowing your focus and choosing the topic and supervisor for your main research project.

The NRP-DTP programme builds on an established history of working in partnership, offering students the opportunity to become part of a vibrant multinational research community within which they can learn from internationally-recognised scientists and contribute to new and exciting discoveries

The MMB programme is funded by the UKRI Medical Research Council to advance the training of postgraduate research students in microbiology, with an emphasis on microbial bioinformatics

The EDESIA: Plants, Food and Health PhD programme is funded by The Wellcome Trust to advance major aspects of plant-based nutrition and health, from crop to clinic. The programme draws on the world-class, interdisciplinary research expertise of the Norwich Research Park

The ARIES (“Advanced Research and Innovation in the Environmental Sciences”) DTP draws together expertise from five universities and nine research centres, as well as over forty other research-users. The partnership has a mission to train postgraduate research students with excellent potential from across society, equipping them with the necessary skills to become leaders in the science and sustainable business of the natural environment
