The University is pleased to announce a range of international PhD studentships available to start in September 2025. We award these to highly qualified applicants for research within the areas of science, life sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities, and within the Henley Business School.
What is available?
The studentships offer:
- tuition fees at the International rate
- a £1,000 per annum training and development allowance
- for applicants intending to study based at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø only, a subsistence grant (stipend) broadly in line with the UKRI minimum stipend. The 2024/25 stipend rate is £19,237.
All awards are for up to four years in duration for full-time study and up to six years in duration for part-time study.
Eligibility
Applications are invited from students who have applied for a place on a PhD programme at the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø to study based at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø or off campus/by distance.
Applicants wishing to study off-campus/by distance are only eligible for awards covering tuition fees and the training and development allowance; awards to off campus/by-distance applicants do not include a stipend.
Deadline
The deadline for applications is Monday 6th January 2025.
The competition process is in two stages. The first selection process takes place within Schools, whereby two candidates from each School are chosen for nomination to the final selection process, which takes place in the Doctoral and Researcher College.
