Studentship Funding Details and Eligibility Criteria

The majority of successful applicants must be eligible for funding according to EPSRC’s criteria but a number of places are also available to those who fall outside this category. Stipends will be paid at the EPSRC rate, which is currently in the range £18,622 – £22,401 p.a. The stipend usually increases annually and is not subject to UK income tax or national insurance.

The studentships will also cover university fees for the duration of the 4-year programme and includes a Research Training and Support Grant (RTSG) that can be used for other training costs, such as attending a conference. Further information on fees for this programme can be found here.

Fully funded studentships (covering fees, maintenance and RTSG) are available to all applicants who are accepted to the MRes+PhD programme. We apply the same eligibility, based on residency, as set out by UKRI. There are a number of requirements which must be met in order to be eligible for Home fees.

For the Gates Scholarship you will need to provide a separate supporting statement and an additional reference. In place of a research proposal for the Gates Scholarship application, please provide a description of why you are interested in the MRes+PhD programme, and what broad areas you might be interested in doing your research on. US citizens interested in applying for the Gates Cambridge Scholarship must do so by 11 Oct 2023.

The MRes in Future Propulsion and Power is only available as part of the CDT in Future Propulsion and Power.

On successful completion of the MRes, students will begin the PhD phase of the CDT.

In the Research Proposal section of the application, there is no mandatory requirement to prepare a research proposal, however please make sure you describe your interests and any specific areas you may wish to work in

You do not have to put a supervisor for the PhD phase on your application, therefore you do not need to find a potential supervisor before applying. Please also clearly state an order of preference for the university at which you would like to study for the PhD phase of the CDT.
