As a major UK science facility with global reach, Diamond offers exciting prospects for PhD students across a wide variety of scientific and technical areas.
The majority of Diamond's jointly funded studentships involve collaboration with UK universities. All are fully funded, with Diamond contributing towards the university's tuition fees, as well as 50% towards the student stipend* and certain travel, subsistence and accommodation costs. These are matched by a 50% contribution from the university.
Students are given the opportunity to undertake a research project and submit a thesis for examination in accordance with the university’s regulations governing their PhD programme. The research is intended to lead to academic publications and to further the student’s career. Studentship projects are extremely varied but all similarly push the boundaries of what is possible on Diamond’s beamlines.
* A stipend is an annual tax-free payment made to the student to assist with general living costs whilst undertaking their PhD.

Diamond currently has on its books circa 120 active PhD studentships in partnership with universities and institutions, taking on 15–20 new studentships per year. Guidance for students can be found here and information on life at Diamond can be found here.
