South Coast Biosciences DTP

SoCoBio DTP logo

The South Coast Biosciences Doctoral Training Partnership (SoCoBio DTP) is a Doctoral Training Partnership funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC)  and offers a broad,  four year research training programme which provides students with the skills they need to develop into future bioscience leaders in academia or in industry. It is a collaboration between four south coast universities - The University of Southampton, The University of Kent, The University of Sussex, The University of Portsmouth - and Niab.

The SoCoBio’s cross-institutional approach draws on the research strengths of our partners to deliver a unique, high-quality interdisciplinary and industry-facing training experience. Moreover, each year, it offers undergraduates from across the UK the opportunity to undertake a summer research studentship at one of our partners.

The programme is not currently recruiting, but check back regularly for any new opportunities.
