Scholarship details

This scholarship provides a tax-free stipend at the standard UKRI rate (currently £21,805) for three and a half years, alongside full tuition fee coverage.

For September 2027 entry, we expect to offer two scholarships:

  • one scholarship for a student eligible for Home Fees
  • one scholarship open to either a Home Fees or an Overseas Fees student.

These awards are funded either directly by the Department, or through our EPSRC Doctoral Landscape Award (DLA) grant.
