PhD Studentship – Fully Funded Doctoral Award ()

The University of Exeter is offering a fully funded PhD studentship as part of its doctoral funding awards programme. This opportunity enables high‑calibre candidates to undertake original research within a supportive, interdisciplinary, and internationally recognised academic environment. The studentship is intended to foster the development of new knowledge and innovation across a range of research areas.

The successful candidate will conduct independent research under the guidance of experienced supervisors, contributing to the University’s research objectives. Responsibilities include developing a research proposal, conducting rigorous data collection and analysis, producing a doctoral thesis, and disseminating findings through peer‑reviewed publications and conference presentations. Students will also engage with the wider academic community and benefit from professional development support provided by the University.

• Applicants should hold, or expect to obtain, a first‑class or upper second‑class honours degree (or equivalent) in a relevant discipline.
• A Master’s degree may be required or preferred depending on the specific research area.
• Candidates must meet the University’s doctoral study entry requirements, including English language proficiency for non‑native speakers.

Candidates should demonstrate strong academic achievement, research potential, and commitment to their chosen field. Essential skills include critical thinking, analytical ability, and independent problem‑solving. Applicants should be capable of developing and executing a robust research project, communicating findings effectively, and collaborating within an interdisciplinary academic environment.

The studentship covers full tuition fees and provides a tax‑free stipend for living expenses, in line with University or UKRI funding rates where applicable.
