Prince Mahidol PhD Studentship for Thai students in Medicine or Biomedical Sciences

The Prince Mahidol Studentship at Trinity College is intended for Thai students who wish to undertake a PhD in Medicine or Biomedical Sciences at the University of Cambridge. The Studentship is made possible through the generous support of the Prince Mahidol Award Foundation, named after Prince Mahidol of Songkla (1892-1929), who is widely regarded as the father of modern medicine and public health in Thailand. The award provides comprehensive funding valued at approximately £65,000 annually, covering international student fees, maintenance allowance, student visa costs, student immigration health surcharge, a research emolument of £500 per annum for 3 years, and the cost of a return ticket from Thailand to the United Kingdom. Maintenance is awarded for 3.5 to 4 years depending on the specific course. There is an expectation that studentship recipients will return to Thailand to contribute to the field of Medical and Biomedical science. One award is available for the 2026/27 academic year. Applicants must specify Trinity College as their first or second preference in their admissions application. The basis of the award is academic merit, and successful applicants may be contacted during their course to provide progress updates for reporting purposes to the donors.
