Postgraduate Fellowships and Studentships

Funded research student opportunities are listed below, with regular updates. Applications are taken until the studentship is filled, unless a specific closing date is identified: early application is advised.

International students are usually NOT eligible for these studentships (fees are normally paid at the UK/EU rate). International students may apply for projects in related areas or for other research available. Please note there are University and external international scholarships available for some of our programmes.

Opportunities are also available to study on our one year full-time MRes or MSc courses.
