A number of fully-funded scholarships are available for any area of study within our PhD programmes.
We are offering several PhD scholarships for study within the Business School. The scholarships will cover full tuition fees (UK or Overseas level) with annual stipend for up to 4 years set at the UKRI minimum level (pro-rata for part-time programmes).
All candidates must hold a conditional or unconditional offer for one of the Business School’s PhD programmes starting September 2025. You can apply for this scholarship while waiting for an outcome of your application, but scholarships can only be awarded to those with an offer for one of our programmes. Therefore, please ensure all necessary documents have been uploaded to your programme application at least 10 working days before the scholarship deadline.
Please note that we will not generally consider candidates who have already obtained a PhD or equivalent qualification.
We strongly encourage and are attentive to applications from minoritised candidates, including:
Your proposed area of study must fall within one of our six broad research areas. While any topic that falls within the six broad research areas will be considered, applicants whose proposal aligns with highlighted areas of interest may be given preference.
Applications are ranked considering a number of criteria, most importantly:
Applications are now closed as the 3rd February 2025 deadline has passed.
Candidates will be notified of the outcome of their application by April 2025.
Please be aware that we also hold a reserve list. In the event that a successful candidate later declines their award, the award will be offered to the top candidate on the reserve list. Candidates will be notified if they are listed as a reserve candidate.
