Funding and studentships
Funding comes from a variety of sources, including national research councils, internal scholarships and industry.
The School is the lead institution for the NERC-funded CENTA Doctoral Training Centre, which funds between five and seven PhD UK/EU studentships at Birmingham each year.
The School will put forward candidates for projects in the Society, Economy and Environment and Centre for Urban and Regional Studies research groups for ESRC and AHRC studentships as appropriate.
Overseas international students with the potential for securing private, industrial or home-government scholarships are encouraged to contact potential supervisors directly.
