Our scholarships provide full tuition fees, a generous stipend and access to a research training grant.

UK/EU and overseas applicants have the opportunity to apply for Faculty funded scholarships, where you will be matched up with the relevant expertise from across one or more of our departments.

UK/EU applicants may wish to apply for an externally funded scholarship, offered by prestigious research councils such as the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC). These specific scholarships provide researchers with the opportunity to work with the established STOR-I and Graphene NOWNANO Doctoral Training Centres, or to be part of the newly created NERC funded Envision Doctoral Training Partnership.

We invite applications from individuals who wish to join our vibrant and supportive postgraduate community to work alongside other scholars and world-renowned experts in their fields. If you have a strong undergraduate degree and a desire to engage in further research then please contact us for a discussion.
