Over 100 PhD funding awards for 2010

Ranked 9th in the Times Good University Guide 2010, we are a
research intensive university with a growing reputation. Research
is at the heart of everything we do.

In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, all our subjects
were assessed as including world-leading (4*) research and
nearly 90 per cent of our research was rated as being internationally
recognised.

 

 

As part of our continued commitment to building research capacity we
are offering over 100 funding awards for PhD students for 2010 entry.
The awards vary according to the subject area and range from full
studentships covering all fees and a maintenance grant for three years,
to bursaries worth £7,000 a year for three years. Certain awards are
linked to teaching  commitments of up to 80 hours per year. The awards
are normally offered full-time, however some may be available part-time
or by distance learning.
