University of Liverpool PhD Studentship 2026

About this scholarship

University of Liverpool PhD Studentships support doctoral research at the university. Specific awards may be fully funded and can cover home tuition, a stipend, and research-related support.

The University of Liverpool PhD Studentship refers to doctoral funding opportunities offered by the University of Liverpool for PhD study in selected research areas. These studentships are typically linked to a specific project, research group, or supervisor, and are designed for applicants with strong academic preparation and clear research potential.

Based on the referenced posting, at least some University of Liverpool PhD studentships are fully funded for home students. Support may include full tuition fees at the home rate, a tax-free stipend, and additional funding such as travel support for conferences or funder visits. Some projects may also include research equipment support, such as funds for a laptop. Funding arrangements can vary by project, department, and sponsor.

These studentships are normally available for PhD-level study at the University of Liverpool in the United Kingdom. Eligibility depends on the individual project, but applicants are generally expected to hold a strong academic background in a relevant subject. For the referenced computational complexity theory project, applicants were expected to have a strong undergraduate background in mathematics and/or computer science, while a master’s degree in a closely related area was desirable.

Application is usually made through the project or university doctoral recruitment process. Applicants should carefully review the specific project advert for details on funding status, fee coverage, nationality or residence restrictions, academic prerequisites, and required documents. Because terms differ across studentships, students should rely on the individual listing for the most accurate and current information before applying.
