How to apply

You can submit an application via the University of Bristol application portal: Start your application | Study at Bristol | University of Bristol. Select the programme “Veterinary Science (PhD) (4yr)” and see the available start dates. Select 'Sept 2025’ to begin your application.  In the funding section of the application form, please indicate “University of Bristol Scholarship”.

In the research section please enter the project title of the scholarship you are applying for along with the supervisor's name. You can upload a blank document instead of the research statement, which is not needed.

We are keen to support applicants from minority and under-represented backgrounds (based on protected characteristics) and those who have experienced other challenges or disadvantages. We encourage you to use your personal statement to ensure we can take these factors into account.

If you want to apply for more than one Bristol Veterinary School project you will need to select a different start date for your second/third application(s) - this is so the applications system can accept multiple applications. The start date can easily be amended by the university if you are made an offer

We will also be running a pre-application online workshop and Q&A session on how to prepare a PhD application on 5^th December 2024 04:00 PM GMT; if you would like to register for this workshop then please sign up here.
