PhD Studentships

We offer a number of funded research studentships each year, these are usually three-year, full-time doctoral research studentships. All studentships are advertised in the national press and are available on a competitive basis.

As we receive a high volume of applications for our funded PhD studentships we will only contact candidates that we shortlist for interview.
