Application tips
- Use the DLA-specific form, not the generic PhD form — the official page is explicit that the DLA form is unique and carries the project list.
- Check fee-status allocation before applying: the majority of DLA studentships go to Home-fee candidates under EPSRC rules, with strict limits on international recruitment.
- The 13 January deadline is 17:00 GMT and secondary-reported from the official listings — confirm it on the listings widget before submitting.
- Projects span science, engineering, health and maths, so engineering applicants should filter the FindAPhD directory by the DLA route.
Always verify deadline, amount and eligibility on the official page before applying. Values marked ESTIMATE are based on a previous cycle and are not confirmed for the current round.
