Entry requirements
You should hold a first or upper-second class Bachelor’s degree or a taught Master’s degree in an appropriate subject from a UK university. Non-UK qualifications of an equivalent standard are also accepted.
Funding
UNRISK will offer around 40 fully funded PhD positions (around 12-15 per year over three cohorts). Funding covers university fees, a maintenance grant, as well as research and training costs. Further up to date information about studentship funding is available from UK Research and Innovation and will be posted here when available for 2025/26 entry.
Applications are open to UK and international applicants, although the number of awards for international applicants is limited by UKRI rules.
Some additional places are also available for students who have their own funding.
Part-time study can be offered to to students unable to join the programme as a full-time student. Please get in touch with us if you would like to discuss this option.
