Funding
Funding options
Fees are set annually by the Governing Authority of the University.
Most students on the PhD programme are supported by sources such as:
- external research studentships, which are applied for individually
- studentships associated with (externally) funded research projects, in which academic staff are involved, mainly through University research centres and institutes
- internal University studentships of various sorts.
Funding applications typically depend on an excellent academic record and the submission of a detailed research proposal.
Intending PhD applicants should explore these options systematically, and consult with the director of the PhD programme in economics, possible supervisors, and with academic staff for advice.
