Each year the University offers a small number of University Prize Scholarships to the very best PhD applicants. If you're among the brightest and best in your field, we want to hear from you.
These scholarships are open to applicants in all subjects. You can read about some of our current University Prize Scholarship holders on our scholarship holders page.
Award details
For new PhD students starting in 2016-17 (after 1st October 2016), the University Prize Scholarships will pay:
- full tuition fees (UK, EU or Overseas)
- an annual, tax-free maintenance stipend of £20,000
- a Research Training Support Grant of £2,500 per year for study visits, conferences, books, consumables and equipment.
These scholarships fund up to three years full-time or six years part-time study, subject to satisfactory progress. Part-time studentships are paid at 50% of the full-time rate (i.e. £10,000 maintenance per year).
