Fully Funded Scholarship at University of Exeter in UK 2024-25

The Fully Funded Scholarship at University of Exeter in UK is open to all nationals who hold a bachelor’s degree and desire to study in the UK. This PhD project involves the development of wireless implantable micro-coil technology for precise and graded control of neuronal excitability through magnetic stimulation.

This interdisciplinary research lies at the intersection of electronic engineering, neuroscience, and materials science and aims to advance neuromodulation technologies for novel therapeutic strategies targeting neurological disorders.

The PhD project aims to:

• Design and model micro-coils.
• Develop a wireless system and fabricate micro-coils.
• Characterise the effects of magnetic fields.
• Conduct experimental testing and validation.

The University of Exeter Graduate Scholarship covers Home or International tuition fees and provides an annual tax-free stipend of at least £19,237 for 3.5 years full-time, or pro rata for part-time study.

• A motivated candidate with a strong background in biomedical engineering, electromagnetic theories, mathematical modelling, electronic engineering, neuroscience, and materials science or related disciplines.
• Experience in microfabrication, wireless power transfer, electrophysiology, or biomedical device development is advantageous.
• The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary team and gain expertise in advanced neuromodulation techniques, materials science, and neural engineering.
• English Language Requirements: Non-native English speakers must meet the university’s English proficiency requirements, as outlined at Exeter’s English guidance page.
