Tuition fees
PhD fees vary according to where you come from, whether you study full 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 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.
Studentships for PhD students
The University's Doctoral and Researcher College holds information about studentships and other funding available for postgraduate study.
Studentships are available for both UK and international students.
Alternative sources of funding
The Alternative Guide to Postgraduate Funding is a database of less well-known sources of doctoral funding.
Supplement your income
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.
