Research studentships

As part of our ongoing investment in research, we offer a number of funded studentships throughout the year.

We update these regularly, so if there isn't one at the moment, please check back shortly.

How to apply

Research Studentships are funded posts linked to a specific research project that support postgraduate researchers (PhD candidates) while they complete their research degrees. Studentships can cover tuition fees (fully or partial) and provide a living stipend, allowing researchers to focus on their project without having to find additional employment to support living expenses.

Studentships may often provide access to additional funding for conferences, training and/or research expenses. Studentships represent a commitment to nurturing future researchers, enabling talented postgraduate researchers to pursue advanced research while fully engaging in their academic studies.

How to apply

Please note you need to apply for your course in parallel with your studentship application. You should also ensure you mention the studentship you are interested in when you submit your application.
