Fully-funded PhD places: flexible projects

In addition to our specifically-funded PhD projects the School also has a number of PhD places directly funded by the Research Councils.

These are our most flexible awards as the student and academic concerned can decide together the exact area of research. They are suitable for applicants who satisfy the Research Council funding eligibility requirements or have secured their own funding.

Note that only a few of these flexible projects will be funded in a given year, so it is a good idea to list several projects in order of preference when applying for these projects.

Research areas
