PhD Funding
The School of Psychology periodically offers studentships for MPhil/PhD candidates. These studentships are advertised on www.jobs.ac.uk in good time to make an application. However, most candidates will have to apply for funding from other sources. It is worth noting that funding for a PhD can be achieved in a piecemeal fashion, with contributions from more than one organization. Charities may not, for instance, be able to give an entire scholarship, but a contribution. Although we may not have any funded places available, we are happy to hear from quality students who may wish to apply for funding with our support or who may already have their own source of funding. If on looking through the potential funding sources below you see a call you are interested in applying for then contact us with an outline.
