Scholarships
You may be eligible to apply for a scholarship to fund your PhD, depending on your field of research, and whether you are a Home or Overseas applicant.
ºù«Ӱҵ the funding process
There may be other scholarships available within the University and externally that are not included here.
You must have applied for PhD study and been accepted for a place at the University before you can submit an application for a PhD scholarship.
You should discuss the most appropriate scholarship for you with your supervisor or department. Scholarships are very competitive, and your application will need to be tailored to the most appropriate source.
There are also different routes for scholarship applications, and your supervisor/department will be able to advise once you have established the most appropriate scholarship application for you.
The main scholarships competition in the University closes at the end of January, and decisions are made and communicated to applicants between the end of February to the end of April, depending on the scheme.
Most scholarships cover tuition fees and provide a stipend (student living allowance), plus a Research Training Support Grant to cover research costs and consumables. However, you should check the details of each scholarship when you apply.
If you're applying for a project in one of our departments, check if you're eligible for any funding it comes with.
