University of York PhD Studentship 2026
About this scholarship
University of York PhD Studentships are doctoral funding opportunities at the University of York. Awards can cover UK Home-rate tuition and a maintenance stipend, with terms varying by project and department.
The University of York PhD Studentship refers to doctoral funding opportunities offered by the University of York for specific research projects and academic departments. These studentships are typically aimed at students undertaking a PhD at the University of York in the United Kingdom, and the exact subject area, funding package, and eligibility criteria can vary depending on the advertised project.
Based on the referenced posting, one example is a fully funded PhD studentship in Health Economics and Health & Social Care Workforce Supply, hosted by the Centre for Health Economics and registered through the Department of Economics and Related Studies. In that case, the award covers academic fees at the UK Home rate plus a maintenance stipend at UKRI rates for 3.5 years. International applicants may be eligible to apply, but they may need to cover the difference between Home and international tuition fees themselves.
These studentships are generally intended for applicants with a strong academic background relevant to the project. For the referenced Health Economics studentship, suitable applicants usually hold a bachelor's degree in Economics with at least a 2:1, or a master's degree in Health Economics or Economics with substantial microeconomics content, together with strong quantitative and analytical skills.
As this is a project-based university studentship rather than a single standardised scholarship scheme, applicants should carefully read the individual advertisement for details on funding, academic requirements, English language requirements, and how to apply. Applications are typically made directly to the University of York or the relevant academic department for the advertised PhD project.
