Eligibility

Studentships will start on 1 October 2024 and consist of an annual tax-free stipend of approximately £18,622 (this is the 2023/2024 rate as 2024/2025 rates are yet to be confirmed). In addition, full-time tuition fees will be covered for the length of the funding period. Please see the South, West and Wales Doctoral Training Partnership Student-led Awards for further details.

The full award only covers the UK rate tuition fees, so UWE Bristol will cover the difference between the UK rate and the international fees for successful UWE Bristol international candidates.

Please see the South, West and Wales Doctoral Training Partnership eligibility and residency guidelines.

How to apply

The closing date for applications is 23:59 on Monday 22 January 2024.
