Oliver Bird Rheumatism Programme

Our Oliver Bird Rheumatism Programme aims to build research capacity in rheumatic disease by developing a cohort of outstanding young research scientists. 

Over 8 million people in the UK are affected by rheumatic disease leading to significant physical disability, discomfort and economic loss. 

We offer four year PhD training programmes in the biosciences at five Collaborative Centres of excellence: the University of Aberdeen; the University of Glasgow, King's College London & Queen Mary University of London (joint centre); the University of Newcastle and University College London. 

Please note that all studentships have been filled.
