Institute for Advanced Studies Studentships

We're investing in the next generation of world-class researchers.

Our Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS) Studentships represent a £3.6m investment by the University in doctoral research over the next 3 years. We're offering both UK and international students:

• A number of 3-year full-time equivalent PhD studentships on a fully-funded basis (fees and stipend at the UKRI rate)
• Fee waivers
• Cash bursaries for students who already hold funding awards for fees

IAS Studentship holders will work in collaborative, inter-disciplinary clusters of postgraduate researchers working on complementary doctoral projects.

Applications are now closed for the first intake of IAS Studentships, but there will be another opportunity later this year to apply for entry in 2024. Thank you to everyone who submitted an expression of interest for our first round of IAS Studentships, we will notify all applicants of the outcome by June 2023.
