The Health Sciences Doctoral Training Centre (HSDTC) provides a limited number of bursaries to support doctoral research students in the Health Faculties at King’s College London to attend short courses at the Department of Biostatistics & Health Informatics delivered at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience.
Who can apply
PGR students (including PhD, DClinPsy, MD(Res), and MRes) in the Health Faculties at King's College London are eligible to apply for these bursaries.
Awards of up to £475 will be made on an individual basis. Please note: A maximum of two HSDTC Biostatistics & Health Informatics Bursaries will be awarded to each student during their doctoral studies at King's.
How to apply
1. Complete this bursary application form, stating which Biostatistics & Health Informatics course you would like to apply for a bursary for.
Visit the Biostatistics & Health Informatics eStore page to view the courses which are currently being offered.
2. We will aim to give you a response from hs-dtc@kcl.ac.uk so that you know in principle whether we can support your fees for your chosen course.
3. Once you have a response from the HSDTC, apply for and pay for your course via the Department of Biostatistics & Health Informatics eStore page.
4. Submit your course payment receipt and B&HI booking confirmation to hs-dtc@kcl.ac.uk to receive a reimbursement of up to £475.
Please Note: We would advise that you submit your application 3-4 weeks before the last booking date for the course you wish to attend. Submitting your application earlier will mean that you will be more likely to hear a response before you apply and pay for your chosen B&HI course. Submitting your application later will not impact your chances of being awarded a bursary, however you may need to apply and pay for the course before hearing the outcome of your bursary application.
