Scholarships available for PhD students

9 February 2012

The University is offering 80 full-time scholarships for PhD students across a range of disciplines.

Forty scholarships will be available for UK/EU students and 40 for international students. Applications are invited from high-quality candidates with first class or 2:1 honours degrees.

A total of £1m will be invested in the programme each year, with each PhD scholarship covering tuition fees as well as conference attendance.

Areas of study are available across the University in the Business School, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Faculty of Health and Social Care, Hull-York Medical School, Faculty of Education, Faculty of Science, and the Postgraduate Medical Institute.

The studentships will start in September this year.

Professor Glenn Burgess, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Learning and Teaching, said: “The University’s PhD scholarship programme is an opportunity to reward high-calibre candidates with a very generous funding package.

“The scholarships will allow those who were thinking of further study but perhaps were unsure of the financial support, an opportunity to pursue PhD research under the supervision of leading researchers.”

The closing date for applications is 2 March.
