The University of Manchester is offering fully funded International Partnership PhD studentships in the Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health. One highlighted project focuses on developing and validating the ‘ATTACH’ scale to measure attitudes towards care homes in the UK and Austria, including an international placement. The programme is designed to provide global research experience, with students spending time at Manchester and a partner institution. Funding covers tuition, a UKRI-rate stipend, research support, and travel costs, though relocation and visa expenses are not included. Applicants must have at least an Upper Second class UK honours degree or equivalent in a relevant field, and international candidates must meet English language requirements. The application process involves identifying a project, contacting the supervisor, preparing supporting documents, and submitting an online application. The deadline for applications is 6 December 2025, with the studentship beginning in October 2026. For more information, visit the University of Manchester website or contact the Doctoral Academy.
