Funding for postgraduate research
Wherever possible we build funding for studentships into our research proposals, which has created a thriving postgraduate population at the University. Find out other ways below.
Studentships
Studentships are available on a competitive basis each year through the Research Council Doctoral Training Partnerships:
- Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)
- North West Social Science DTP
- Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC)
- North West Consortium DTP
Graduate Teaching Assistantships in the School
The School is committed to offering the best training opportunities to our PGR students. As part of this, we offer the opportunity to engage in teaching training and then use this in real classroom settings. When the opportunity arises PGRs who have undertaken this initial training may also be offered a paid teaching opportunity through our Graduate Teaching Assistantships (GTA) scheme.
Residential Advisers
Accommodation is offered at reduced rates to postgraduate students who work as residential advisers in University accommodation.
Help with funding your programme
Scholarships, bursaries, and annual awards are available from the University. These are generally awarded on a competitive basis. Find out more about opportunities for postgraduate students and international students.
