To be eligible for the PhD programme, you should hold a British Masters degree (or equivalent degree from an overseas university) or an equivalent professional qualification, with a minimum average score of 60 percent (or equivalent) and in an appropriate academic discipline.
Offered Benefits
We are offering two full-time PhD scholarships as follows:
- Two full-time PhD scholarships for UK/EU/international candidates covering a maintenance stipend and UK/EU/international tuition fees for three years, subject to satisfactory progress.
Maintenance stipends are paid at the UK Research Council rate (£15,009 in 2019/20, the rate is reviewed annually).
Application Process
In order to apply for this scholarship, you should first apply for a place on the PhD programme at Leeds University Business School.
You should then apply for the scholarship, using the student ID number you received after submitting your PhD application.
You must have submitted all the relevant documents in support of your PhD application by the scholarship closing date.
If English is not your first language, you must provide evidence that you meet the Leeds University Business School minimum English language requirements (below) before registration. You do not need to have met the requirement at the time you apply.
We welcome applications from all suitably-qualified candidates, but UK black and minority ethnic (BME) researchers are currently under-represented in our Postgraduate Research community, and we would therefore particularly encourage applications from UK BME candidates. All scholarships will be awarded on the basis of merit.
