The Venture Science Doctorate (VSD) program, 3rd cohort, starting January 2026. ** Applications for the January 2026 intake are now CLOSED. You can still submit an application if you're interested in being considered for future programs. ** About VSD The world’s first 3-year venture creation focused PhD program run by Deep Science Venture College at Woolf University: a globally recognised, decentralised institution widening access to higher education. Our focus is exclusively on solving global challenges in health, climate, agriculture and computation through science as the basis for designing research projects from first-principles, and creating new companies founded by candidates based on this research. The VSD is backed by a philanthropic consortium of mission aligned Partners, including Schmidt Futures, Innovate UK and SPRIN-D (Germany), and embedded in a global R&D coalition of universities and national labs, including National Physical Laboratory, the James Hutton Institute, Imperial College, Max Planck, the University of Edinburgh, University College London, Goldsmiths, University of London, Cornell University, the Mayo Clinic, and many others. Program outline: The aim of year 1 is for candidates to familiarise themselves with a given industry and mapping the landscape to identify areas of opportunity for high-impact venture creation. In a process called Scoping, candidates will identify the optimal solution to a given problem and - alongside accredited courses such as experimental design - perform lab work to develop their hypotheses, and contact partner research groups for further experimentation. Year 2 is focused on invention and further developing the initial hypotheses, working within leading research groups to prove the technology against the original hypothesis and validate it through techno-economic analysis. The goal for year 3 is building further on the research from the previous two years to develop a scalable technology capable of product market fit. If necessary, candidates may join multiple different research groups to do this. Having validated the technology, candidates will work with experienced venture partners to build a complementary team and a rock-solid investment case before venture incorporation and spin-out. At incorporation, all the intellectual property is transferred into the new venture, which the candidate continues to lead as a co-founder, with continuous support from DSV. Full details of the program, including FAQs and Prospectus Download available on the dedicated VSD site here. Requirements The program is full-time and primarily remote (from anywhere) with in-person study conducted in research laboratories. Applicants for VSD should be impact-driven, want to launch a science company using advanced research and be determined to do this in just a few years. You should apply if: You're impact-driven and have demonstrated interest in investigating or solving large-scale societal problems in climate, agriculture, health or computation; You want to build a global science-based company that will make a huge positive impact; You're entrepreneurial and can share examples of past experience related to innovation/new technology development/startups/etc.; You have a Masters degree related to science/engineering (BSc and equivalent also accepted, PhD also accepted); You're determined enough to spend 1 week, during the application process, finding an optimal approach to a societal problem in your own time, using Deep Science Ventures' scoping ideation methodology. We actively welcome candidates from any part of the world and any walks of life to apply - our primary focus is on mission alignment and the desire to create impact through science. Benefits Deep Science Ventures College will cover the tuition and all other expenses related to programme curriculum and research activities. Additionally, each student will receive a monthly stipend of £2,800 (living costs + health insurance subsidy) and upon spin-out you/your co-founder(s) will have the majority ownership in the venture. You'll join a global community of >200 science entrepreneurs across our portfolio and programs, work with some of the world's most entrepreneurial professors, research labs and government agencies supporting the VSD, and access top-tier investors/funders backing deeptech ventures. ____ About DSV Deep Science Ventures is creating a future in which both humans and the planet can thrive.
