Defence Science Technology Laboratory
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.
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 MODs Defence Innovation Agency (AID).
100 PhD studentships have been funded since the scheme began in 2011.
The deadline for proposals for the 2023 programme has now passed.
