Fully-funded PhD studentship in the School of Geography

To be eligible for the studentship, applicants must already hold an offer to start a PhD research degree programme in the School of Geography.* Applicants must also have discussed their application with their proposed supervisors prior to applying.

Offer-holders should download and complete the studentship application form (Word) and submit it to tara.kaur@nottingham.ac.uk by 12 noon British Summer Time on 26 July 2023. Late applications will not be considered.

The studentship will cover fees at the Home student rate (£4,850 for 2023/24) and provide a full-time yearly stipend comparable to RCUK rates (currently £17,668). Applications from international students are welcome, but as the fee funding is capped at the Home student rate, successful international applicants would be expected to fund the fee shortfall (international fees for 2023/24 are estimated at £27,200 for science and £20,500 for social science PhD projects). All rates are reviewed annually and thus are subject to change.

The studentship will fund PhD research in any field of geography supported by our four research themes: Geosciences; Environment and Society; Economic Worlds; and Cultural and Historical Geography. We also welcome projects that link across multiple themes.

The school is committed to high-quality research and knowledge transfer, rooted in a culture of interdisciplinary and collaborative research and a strong and supportive postgraduate research culture and training programme. More information is provided on the Postgraduate Research pages of our website.

The University of Nottingham is committed to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) for our student and staff community. For more information, please see our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion webpages.
