Our Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS) Studentships represent a £3.6m investment by the University in doctoral research from 2023-2025. We're offering both UK and international students:
- A number of 3-year full-time equivalent PhD studentships on a fully-funded basis (fees and stipend at the UKRI rate)
- Fee waivers
- Bursaries for students who already hold funding awards for fees
IAS Studentship holders will work in collaborative, inter-disciplinary clusters of postgraduate researchers working on complementary doctoral projects.
Eligibility and availability
We welcome expressions of interest from all candidates who meet the University’s entry criteria for Postgraduate Research degrees, and who have or will complete a postgraduate masters degree before 1st October 2024 or have relevant professional experience. We especially welcome expressions of interest from people from groups that have been under-represented in the UK Post Graduate Research community in the past, including people from ethnic minorities, women, disabled people, people from care-experienced or socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and candidates from the Global South.
Recommendations for the offer of a studentship will be made by a panel of senior members of the University that will consider all applications from qualified candidates, supported by an adviser on equality, diversity and inclusion. The panel will consider a range of criteria, focusing on candidates’ academic excellence, evidence of advanced methodological skills and demonstrated capacity to undertake a major piece of independent research at doctoral level.
How to apply
Full information on the Research Clusters that are recruiting and the application process can be found on the IAS Studentships webpages.
