Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership

The Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership is a BBSRC-funded doctoral training partnership between the universities of Warwick, Birmingham, Leicester, Aston, Harper Adams and Coventry. 

Good luck to all applicants!  The application window will close on 27 November 2025. 

About MIBTP at the University of Birmingham

The Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership (MIBTP) is a BBSRC-funded doctoral training programme. It focuses on key themes such as sustainable agriculture, clean growth, health, and the rules of life, aiming to equip PhD students from diverse academic backgrounds with the skills to tackle global challenges 

For entry in October 2026 the University of Birmingham is offering two studentship routes: 

Standard studentship: students undertake an initial 10 weeks of training in the methods of modern integrative bioscience, followed by two 12-week mini-research projects, and one 12-week professional placement.

CASE studentship: students undertake an initial 10 weeks of training in the methods of modern integrative bioscience, followed by one 12-week mini-research project before starting their PhD. During their PhD, students will undertake an industrial placement with an industry partner for between 3-18 months.  

How do I apply?

All of the MIBTP projects offered by the University of Birmingham are listed in the section below entitled ‘Projects currently available’.

If you would like further information about any of these projects, or about the supervisors offering them, please visit the University of Warwick's website - please open this link in a new tab, as you will need to return to the University of Birmingham's webpage to apply.

  • apply to each PhD (MIBTP) programme only once
  • if you are interested in projects in more than one PhD (MIBTP) programme, then you may apply to a maximum of five different PhD FT (MIBTP) programmes (e.g. you might apply to the PhD Biosciences FT (MIBTP) and the PhD Psychology FT (MIBTP))
