Application tips
- Successful candidates normally exceed the minimum entry requirements with the highest classification in at least one degree — lead with your strongest academic evidence
- The proposal's fit with School research expertise is an explicit criterion, so name the research area and potential supervisors' field, not just a topic
- Apply to the PhD programme early enough to unlock the scholarship form (five working days before 2 February 2027)
- Note the 3-year stipend duration differs from the University scheme's 3.5 years — budget the final period accordingly
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.
