Dear XXXX
Thank you for your request for information about PhD studies in the Department of Animal and Plant Sciences. The page you visited on FindAPhD does not describe a specific PhD project. It highlights one of our department’s core research themes: Evolution and Behaviour, Ecology and Environment, and Plants and Microbes. The majority of UK and EU students are funded through one of our Doctoral Training Programmes (DTPs). These projects are advertised on FindAPhD throughout the autumn and winter each year. Funded projects that are not part of one of our DTPs are advertised throughout the year on the FindAPhD.
Unfortunately, no other sources of PhD funding are currently available in our department. If you are interested in pursuing a self-funded PhD, or applying for an external scholarship, you should first examine our departmental page to identify a supervisor who fits your research interests. Once you have done this you then need to submit a formal application for review by our admissions tutor.
Yours sincerely
