One of the best choice of my early career so far was to go for the FSBI studentship.
Did you know @thefsbi.bsky.social fund up to 2 PhD studentships each year?
These include:
🐟 4 years of PhD funding.
🦈 A stipend higher than UKRI (on average).
🐠 Annual research budget of £3500.
🎣 +other benefits.
See fsbi.org.uk/phd-students... for full details or grab Melanie or me at #FSBI2025
