The Hinduja Foundation has partnered with King's College London to launch the 2026-27 academic session. Specifically, they are offering the prestigious India-UK healthcare scholarships to talented Indian students. Consequently, eligible candidates can now apply for fully funded PhDs and partially funded MSc programmes. Ultimately, this initiative aims to strengthen medical research capabilities and clinical standards within India.
Furthermore, Indian students can apply for two distinct academic pathways under this joint educational framework. Firstly, the alliance offers full four-year PhD studentships in healthcare technologies. These doctoral studies take place at the School of Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Sciences. Secondly, students can opt for the one-year MSc in MedTech Innovation and Entrepreneurship. This master's degree focuses on translating clinical research into real-world commercial solutions. Additionally, the MSc program provides extensive training in medical engineering.
The financial support structure varies depending on the chosen course of study. For example, the PhD scholarship covers full international tuition fees and provides an annual tax-free living stipend. On the other hand, the MSc scholarship provides tiered tuition relief. To illustrate, one selected scholar receives an 80 percent tuition waiver. Meanwhile, four other scholars receive a 50 percent waiver. However, candidates must secure an admission offer from King's College London before applying for the funding. In addition, applicants must be citizens domiciled in India to qualify.
