To make a formal application, please complete the University’s online application form for the DPhil in Psychiatry course. Please indicate the iCASE project clearly by inserting ‘iCASE’ before the project title and by using the reference code iCASE. You will need to provide a personal statement (500 words max). Note that no project proposal is required for the iCASE studentship applications.
If you wish to apply for a combination of iCASE and the regular DPhil in Psychiatry this can be done on the same application form. In this circumstance, please ensure you include a title, full research proposal (maximum of 1,000 words), potential supervisors and studentship code "26PSYCH01WEB" for the non-iCASE project.
The Department is pleased to be supporting the University's Academic Futures Scholarship Programmes. Academic Futures is a series of scholarship programmes that will address under-representation and help improve equality, diversity and inclusion in our graduate student body.
