Guidance to Departmental Postgraduate Research studentships for applicants 24/25

If you hold an offer from the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of York, you are automatically considered for a studentship and you must hold an offer from us to be considered for a studentship. You are eligible if you have an offer for the PhD in Politics and International Relations (full-time or part-time). 

These studentships are separate from other funding which you may be seeking (e.g. through the White Rose Doctoral Training Partnership or the White Rose College for Arts and Humanities). Please make sure you look at the separate guidance for those schemes if you are interested in them.

Full details on how to apply for this funding will be detailed on this webpage in the coming months. In the meantime please ensure that you have submitted your application in good time.
