The School are accepting applications for a fully-funded 4-year PhD
scholarship to start in October 2025. There are 13 projects available
and the application deadline is 15th Nov 2024.
It would be great if we could get plenty of applications so I would be
grateful if you could pass these onto your networks. The faculty-funded
scholarships are yet to be advertised and will be circulated
separately.
