Studentships
Vice-Chancellor’s PhD Scholarships 2013
As part of our commitment to investing in research that shapes lives and society, we are awarding 12 fully-funded Vice-Chancellor’s PhD Scholarships for 2013.
The studentships will pay UK / EU fees and provide a maintenance stipend linked to the RCUK rate (currently £13,590 per annum) for up to three years. Applications from non-EU students are welcome, but a successful candidate would be responsible for paying the difference between non-EU and UK /EU fees. (Fees for 2012 / 13 are £11,300 for non-EU students and £3,828 for UK / EU students.)
The Scholarships are being offered across all our subject areas. Find out more about the opportunities available and download an application pack by following the links below.

Two Full-time Psychology Scholarships
The Division of Psychology at NTU is one of the largest in the country with over 50 staff and over 30 postgraduate research students. Our work covers the full spectrum of applying theory to real world issues. We are seeking two outstanding candidates at either undergraduate or postgraduate level to go directly onto PhD study in areas of psychology that align with our staff interests.
Research bursaries
Some of our academic schools offer bursaries for research students, either on a fees-only basis or with a tax-free maintenance allowance. In general, only home / EU fees are offered and international (non-EU) students would be required to pay the difference between international (non-EU) and home / EU fees. Please contact the relevant academic school for details.
Scholarship Projects for Undergraduate Researchers (SPUR)
There are opportunities for our undergraduate students to get involved in the University's research activity. The SPUR programme gives students the chance to assist in research projects during the summer vacation. Look out for details through the student news emails.
