Funding

If you are applying for partial funding from us, please make sure to include a letter clearly stating that you would like to be considered for scholarships. Please note that decisions on admission to the programme and funding are made independently.

If you have entered the funded studentship competition, you will be notified of the outcome when we make the decisions on funding (please note: if you are not awarded funding, our offer to you will still be valid and we will be happy to welcome you as a research student should you be able to find alternative funding sources). It is also possible to defer entry to allow you time to secure funding.

Students interested in pursuing PhD studies should consult the University's Postgraduate Prospectus and Postgraduate Course Catalogue. They give full information on the wide range of postgraduate degrees and study programmes, and advice on procedures of application and on the possibilities of financial support.
