The School of Physical and Chemical Sciences offer a number of fully funded postgraduate research studentships to support PhD students each year.
Our PhD studentships are usually attached to a specific research project and cover the cost of tuition fees as well as providing a maintenance stipend. Funding is normally for up to 3 years at the UK Research Council level. Our studentship funding typically comes from the university, Research Councils, or other external organisations through research grants. Some of the funding available is limited to UK residents.
We also accept students via the following Doctoral Training Partnerships which offer a number of research studentships each year.
Alternative sources of funding for PhD studies
The School also welcomes self-funded PhD students or those with funding from external bodies. See our fees and funding page for information on scholarship schemes and self-funding a PhD.
