The University allocates around 150 entry awards each year in PhD studentships and bursaries, so there are many ways to access PhD funding. A studentship is usually a package that provides full funding for tuition fees and living costs. Information about studentships relevant for those wishing to study in the School of Pharmacy can be found below.
PhD fees vary according to where you come from, whether you study full-time or part-time and where you are based during your degree.
Alumni discounts
If you've previously completed a degree with us, you’ll automatically receive our alumni discount (£1,500 off the cost of your tuition fees).
PhD funding
The University offers a number of funding opportunities if you are applying from outside the UK.
We suggest that you consider funding sources in your own country as well to increase your chances of securing finance.
You may be eligible to apply for a government-funded doctoral loan to fund your PhD.
The Alternative Guide to Postgraduate Funding is a database of less well-known sources of doctoral funding.
You might consider part-time or casual work as a way to supplement your income during your studies. There are often vacancies at the University, which you can apply for through Campus Jobs.
