Joint PhD Scholarship (Sheffield Hallam University & La Trobe University) 2026
About this scholarship
A jointly supervised PhD scholarship between Sheffield Hallam University and La Trobe University for collaborative doctoral research, with study based mainly in the United Kingdom and a period in Australia.
The Joint PhD Scholarship (Sheffield Hallam University & La Trobe University) supports collaborative doctoral research delivered by Sheffield Hallam University in the United Kingdom and La Trobe University in Australia. Students are jointly connected to both institutions and benefit from shared supervision, research training, and access to the academic communities and facilities of each university.
Based on the referenced opportunity, this programme funds PhD-level study and is open to applicants from around the world for specific funded research projects. In the example posting, the research is based mainly at Sheffield Hallam University within its Sports Engineering research environment, with a period of study of up to 12 months at La Trobe University in Australia.
Funding is presented as a funded PhD project, although the exact package may vary by project. Depending on the advertised project, support may include tuition and other forms of doctoral funding, so applicants should review the project page carefully for full details.
Eligibility is typically tied to the academic background needed for the specific research topic. The referenced project sought candidates with a strong degree background in areas such as sport science, data science, biomedical science, engineering, or related disciplines, and welcomed applicants with quantitative skills. English language requirements also apply, with the example listing IELTS 7.0 overall with at least 6.5 in each component, or an accepted equivalent, for applicants who need to demonstrate English proficiency.
Applicants should usually apply through the advertised Sheffield Hallam University PhD project page and prepare standard doctoral application materials such as academic transcripts, degree certificates, a CV, and evidence of English language ability where required. Because this is a project-based joint scholarship rather than a single standardised scheme, deadlines, research topics, and detailed benefits may differ by call.
