How can I get University funding for my PhD (c. February - October)

The central PhD scholarship scheme for 2019/20 entry at the University of Sheffield is now closed. It is likely that a similar scheme will open in November 2019 for entry in 2020/21. Please keep checking sheffield.ac.uk/scholarships for information on this scheme.

In the meantime, Scholarships from the University of Sheffield and external sources also available for new postgraduate research students to help cover tuition fees and living expenses and may be available throughout the year, please look at the Projects Directory at sheffield.ac.uk/postgraduate/research/scholarships/projects for details of these.

We would also encourage all potential PhD applicants to contact the Department in which they would be undertaking study in the first instance. Details of Supervisors and their departments can be found at sheffield.ac.uk/postgraduate/phd/search
