Funding opportunities for postgraduate students
There are a number of ways in which you can obtain financial support to help you through your postgraduate studies. The College Fees & Funding pages contain plenty of information about financing your postgraduate studies, including Scholarships that may be open to you. Many of these competitions are open to students across the School, but there are also a number of awards specifically for students in the Department of Philosophy.
Follow the links below for details of funding opportunities for current or prospective postgraduate students in the Department.

Department Travel bursaries
The Department is able to offer travel grants of up to a maximum of £250 to any research student (MPhilStud or PhD) who is invited to present a paper at a conference or workshop. There are also limited funds available to help research students attend conferences or workshops even when not invited to present a paper; applications under this heading will be assessed on their merits.
Only one research trip per student per year can be supported.
Application for these grants should be made in advance to the Chair of the Postgraduate and Research Committee (PARC), Professor Mark Textor.
NB Students seeking these grants must show that they have also applied for any alternative sources of funding which might support their travel.
