Funding opportunities and studentships

When you are considering PhD study you will need to plan your funding carefully. 

Studying for a PhD will include costs for university fees and your life as a student. Some research will also bring additional costs, for example through travel to resources or purchases of books and other materials.

There are a number of avenues for part- or even complete-funding of a research degree, also for doctoral loans.

On this page we post funding opportunities available through the University of Brighton, its partners and networks.  

These include Doctoral Training Partnership applications, our studentship projects, University of Brighton International research scholarships and our discounts for current and past students. 

You will find more information on doctoral funding online. For opportunities outside UK government funding schemes we recommend you visit the Alternative guide to postgraduate funding and, if you are not from the UK, options for overseas study from your home country.
