About this position
This EPSRC graduate studentship supports a fully funded PhD in Theoretical Physics at a British university. The programme is aimed at students undertaking doctoral research in theoretical or mathematical physics within the EPSRC remit, with example areas including quantum field theory, gravitation, string theory, condensed matter theory, and statistical physics.
The funding is provided by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). It includes support for tuition fees, a living allowance, and a research training grant, and may also offer additional support for travel, conferences, and students with disabilities. The advert describes this as a scholarship route for doctoral study rather than a standalone project at a single named lab or supervisor.
Overall, this is a research-focused funding opportunity for students planning PhD study in theoretical physics or closely related mathematical physics topics at a UK university with EPSRC funding.

What's required
Applicants should normally hold a first-class honours degree (a 2:1) or an equivalent combination of qualifications and professional experience. Many universities also require a first-class honours degree or a 2:1, plus a Master’s degree in a related subject area. Applicants must be undertaking a PhD in theoretical or mathematical physics within EPSRC remit. To receive the full grant, applicants must usually have lived in the United Kingdom for at least the last 3 years and be settled there without immigration restrictions; non-British/non-EU applicants must not have been in the UK primarily for education. EU citizens with settled status or who registered for the EU Settlement Scheme by 30 June 2021, and Irish nationals, may apply on the same terms as British students. International students may apply, but are limited to a maximum of 30% of places and tuition support is limited to UK tuition fees.
How to apply
Do not apply directly to EPSRC. Apply to a university that has EPSRC funding for theoretical physics. Prepare a CV, personal statement, and references, and be ready for interview if shortlisted.
