The RDM Scholars Programme is the Department’s flagship programme, providing a number of fully funded 4-year scholarships for basic science students. The programme is open to outstanding candidates of any nationality.
Applicants for the RDM Scholars Programme should apply for the DPhil Medical Sciences. Students interested in pursuing a DPhil in Cardiovascular Medicine will be transferred to a DPhil in Cardiovascular Medicine if their application is successful.
Support for the RDM Scholars Programme comes from a variety of sources including the Department, the Medical Research Council and the Medical Sciences Divisional Funding Competition. RDM Scholars have their College and University fees paid (at home or overseas rates) and receive a generous stipend of £18,000 per annum, which is tax-free. Rhodes Scholars in the Department are automatically awarded the same stipend as RDM Scholars and are also eligible for four year funding.
The RDM Scholars Programme allows students to carry out research in a single laboratory for a full 4 years. There is no period of rotation between laboratories.
