The Faculty of Natural, Mathematical & Engineering Sciences offers studentships in the Departments of Chemistry, Engineering, Informatics, Mathematics and Physics. The Studentship is funded for 3.5 years, with a bursary starting at the standard research council rate, and which will cover the full cost of Home/EU tuition fees.

There may occasionally be opportunities to apply for externally funded PhD studentships. Further information is available online on websites such as Postgraduate Studentships and Find a PhD.
