This year’s studentship competition, for entry in October 2023, is open to both home and international students. All applicants will be eligible for a full award consisting of a maintenance stipend and payment of tuition fees at the home fee rate.

Please explore our staff profiles to see the wide range of expertise, specialisms and interests that we offer. If keen, do make contact soon with potential supervisors – this will enable you to put together a stronger research proposal for the competition.

We are looking forward to hearing from you.
