Research students normally have to organise your own funding, whether it is through an employer or other body.
The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) makes discretionary grants for postgraduate study and research.
The Research Councils UK – centred around sciences, technology and economics - will fund postgraduate study on a discretionary basis.
The University offers a very limited number of research stipends (formerly known as bursaries) to research students.
Funds are accessible from the relevant Research Institute - please contact them directly.
Stipends are designed to support specific projects as determined by the Research Institute rather than individual student-led projects.
Prospects has detailed information about funding further study.
