At the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency our research programme plays a leading role in protecting and improving public health and supporting innovation.

At our Science Campus we develop NIBSC biological standards, test biological medicinal products and carry out scientific research that underpins these areas; activities that are essential for making sure the biological medicines patients receive are safe and effective.

Our collaborative, multi-institutional 4-year PhD studentships offer the opportunity for you to develop knowledge and expertise in biological medicines and gain valuable experience working across the MHRA and the partner University. 

Studentships include two 3-month rotation projects in the first year, allowing students to experience other areas of scientific and regulatory work across the MHRA.

Applications for the 2027 programme will open in early 2027.
