Postgraduate Study

Funding Opportunities

Fully funded studentships (covering home fees + maintenance) will be available, sometimes in conjunction with participating departments, °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï Trusts Scholarships, or industrial partners. Applicants with pre-settled status are expected to qualify for home-level fees if they meet the relevant criteria.

Applicants eligible for Home fees may also be eligible for full scholarships provided by °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï Trusts, including the prestigious Harding and Gates scholarships. No separate application is normally needed for these, but applicants must tick the relevant boxes on the main application for admission to be considered for these.

Applicants who are eligible for Overseas fees and are accepted to the programme will be considered for partial funding (home-level fees and maintenance) from the SEM PhD course and will also be put forward for various additional funding sources for the home-overseas fee difference. Funding offers will normally be made as a full package.

Some additional external funding sources may also offer full scholarships to applicants who are successful in their competitive selection process. Details of some of these are on our website.
