PhD Studentships

Details of current PhD studentships are advertised on the University’s current job vacancies page.

Research Council Funding

Many postgraduate students are funded by one of the UK Research Councils. Successful UK applicants receive fees and maintenance support while EU students receive a fees-only grant. If your programme is eligible for Research Council funding you will need to contact the relevant Council directly. Competition for these awards is intense and you should apply as early as you can. For some of our postgraduate programmes you may need confirmation that you have been awarded funding before you can register as a postgraduate.

Other sources of funding

It is also worth researching alternative sources of funding if none of the above are applicable.
