About the Scheme

This application process for this scheme is student-centred, where you are asked to contact a member of academic staff with relevant expertise and appropriate track record of EPSRC-facing research. As part of your application you will need to prepare a short research proposal (see EPSRC Doctoral Training Partnership Application Form – Research Summary) with their help. Our research priorities for these studentships are based around those identified by the funder (EPSRC), however we particularly encourage applications for mulltidiciplinary projects, and those that have the potential to align with industry or other external organisations.

These studentships are competitively assessed. They will be shortlisted by departments after full consideration of your application documents, which include (but not limited to) your references, academic record, and the Research Summary form (including the research proposal, and your personal motivation). Interviews will take place in during the week of 25 March 2024, and applicants that progress to this stage will be expected to have detailed understanding of their research proposal. The University’s EPSRC Advisory Group, in partnership with the Doctoral College, will make offers to successful applicants in April 2024.


Your first step is to identify a supervisor who carries out research in the area that you are keen to pursue a PhD. Applications are made to the department in which your supervisor is based, and your preferred supervisor will be asked to provide a statement of support to accompany your application.
