Opportunities in the School of GeoSciences

The University will offer PhD scholarships for students starting their PhD research at the University in the 2025-2026 academic session.

The Edinburgh Earth, Ecology and Environment Doctoral Training Partnership (E4 DTP), led by the School of GeoSciences at the University of Edinburgh, is funded by NERC to recruit and train 5 cohorts of PhD students annually between 2019 and 2023.

The Scottish Funding Council (SFC) has taken the decision to not award SAIC funding past July 31, 2024. This means that scholarships will not be on offer for new students commencing in the 2024/25 academic year.

The School of Geosciences, with support from the Data Lab Academy and the Scottish Funding Council are offering one fully funded scholarship for the MSc in Geographical Information Science for the 2024-2025 academic session. The successful recipient must undertake specified courses in spatial data science as part of their Masters degree.
