Postgraduate research studentships
The School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences offers 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 for 3-4 years depending on the type of studentship. Some of the funding available is limited to applicants with home fee status. Full details of the funding available is provided on the project page.
