Studentships

Postgraduate Opportunities

The Institute for Animal Health is an international centre for research on infectious diseases of farm animals. Training is an important aspect of our mission and each year we offer a number of studentships in our laboratories.

Studentships currently available can be found here. A leaflet on "Opportunities for Postgraduate Research" can be downloaded here.

Students at the Institute benefit from being part of a world-leading research organisation by being supervised by internationally recognised experts in the field and from access to excellent research facilities, training, seminars, academic journals, etc

Students are registered with prestigious universities for the award of their degrees.
