The Global Challenges PhD Scholarship
At Birmingham we address the key challenges facing the world today through ground-breaking research that impacts the lives of people regionally, nationally and globally.
Our postgraduate researchers work on pioneering topics that provoke global change through multi-faceted research. From combating the threat of antibiotic resistance, to understanding the Universe through its creation; our researchers make important discoveries and produce compelling insight into new approaches to today’s global challenges.
Our research matters and our postgraduate researchers are crucial to our achievements. We are therefore investing in up to 20 fully-funded Global Challenges PhD scholarships, addressing the key global issues of the modern world and inviting the very best applicants to join us in our research.
We are offering up to 20 fully-funded Global Challenges PhD scholarships, available to UK applicants. A minimum of ten scholarships will be awarded by the selection panel in the first round of scholarships.
