PhD Departmental Studentship
Departmental Studentship available over four years
Applications are now open for our Departmental Studentship for 2025/26 registration. The deadline for submissions is Friday 28 March 2025.
The studentship covers the four-year period of the integrated PhD programme. However, years 2-4 of the studentship will be conditional on successful completion of the 1st year.
The studentship covers home fees (£5,006 for 2025/26) and provide an annual stipend based on the UKRI stipend rate (£20,780 for 2025/26). The studentship is open to all, but International and EU students will be expected to cover the difference between the home and overseas fee rate.
*Indicative fee pending confirmation.
Open to EU, International (non-EU) and UK (home) students.
Open to students in the Department of Economics and Related Studies.
Only students registered on the Integrated PhD in Economics, who have at least one supervisor based within the Department of Economics and Related Studies, are eligible to be considered for a Studentship. The Centre for Health Economics is considered a separate department in this context, and students registered on the PhD in Health Economics are not eligible for consideration.
The Department's Studentship Selection Committee meets after the submission deadline to allocate the awards. The awards are allocated purely on the basis of academic merit, taking into account the quality of the research proposal, past academic transcripts, and references.
We will only consider candidates who already have an offer of a place to study with us, or whose applications have already been reviewed and deemed likely to merit an offer. Therefore you should aim to submit your online PhD application by 1 March 2025 at the latest, to give the department enough time to carry out a review.
