PhD Departmental Studentship
Applications are now open for a Departmental Studentship for 2026/27 registration. The deadline for submissions is Tuesday 31 March 2026.
Applications for 2026/27 are open until Tuesday 31 March 2026, 5pm BST
Open to International (including EU), International (non-EU) and UK (home) students.
The studentship covers the four-year period of the integrated PhD in Economics programme. However, years 2-4 of the studentship will be conditional on successful completion of the 1st year.
The studentship covers the home fee rate and provides 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.
