Is the Â鶹´«Ã½ the right place for my funded PhD doctoral studies?
The Â鶹´«Ã½ fosters research careers and will provide doctoral training, attentive and expert supervision and access to all the requirements you need to develop an internationally-worthy research project.
Earlier this year, the Â鶹´«Ã½ celebrated its performance in the Research Excellence Framework (REF2021). Following the assessment of scores of research outputs and research impact case studies, we had research rated as 'world-leading' in all ten units of assessment we entered, covering a diverse range of subject areas. We are dedicated to developing this quality work with new students.
How to apply for your funded PhD
You will be expected to approach a member of the Â鶹´«Ã½'s academic staff to supervise your research degree. Academic interests and contact details for research staff are available through the links below. Together you will then develop a research proposal and other material for the application.
You, the student, will be responsible for submitting the application through the university's application portal.
As part of the application, you will identify the supervisor you have been working with on the application for the funded PhD. Your potential supervisor will then support and champion the proposal through the application system.
