action requiredCan I get funding for a PhD from my prospective supervisors research grant?
Grants from some funding agencies can fund PhD study. Sometimes fees are paid by the grant (at the “home fees” level, so non-EU students will need a way of covering the difference between overseas fees and home fees, such as an action requiredORS award) and sometimes not. Sometimes the scholarship will involve periods working with an industrial collaborator (“CASE” studentships). Research grant funding will normally dictate your choice of PhD topic within fairly narrow limits because of the need to justify your contribution to the project that provides the funding. Your prospective supervisor will know whether or not he/she has a suitable grant. Some of these opportunities will be advertised here and you should apply before the indicated deadline.
