The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) operates the UK-France PhD programme and various smaller individual PhD calls. Calls for PhD-level research will each have a different theme and application process.

We welcome applications to PhD level research calls from UK institutions with leading academics, research groups or research centres.

To be notified of future PhD funding opportunities, join R-Cloud.

We do not accept applications from individual students; if you are a student you will need to approach a relevant department at a university.

UK-France PhD programme

The UK-France joint PhD programme aims to develop research in key areas of mutual interest to France and the UK. It is jointly managed by Dstl and the French MOD’s Defence Innovation Agency (AID).

100 PhD studentships have been funded since the scheme began in 2011.
