Engineering PhD Funding Opportunities
Loughborough’s Schools of Engineering offer financial support to talented research students in a number of ways.
Funding for PhD students is awarded on the basis of academic merit and your potential to become a member of one of our internationally recognised research teams.
Applications are now invited for PhD and EngD studentships commencing in October 2012. Loughborough's Engineering Schools and Departments have wide-ranging research capabilities and are able to offer unique and challenging research opportunities. The links below provide information on the areas in which our Schools and Departments are able to supervise PhDs.
What qualifications do I need?
There is always extremely strong competition for our funding awards. We would therefore be looking for you to have achieved a high standard in your studies to date (the equivalent of a UK distinction/high upper second class degree) to receive a funding award.
What kinds of funding opportunities are available for PhD students?
There are opportunities to obtain funding through research studentships funded by EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council UK), the University and the individual departments. Alternative routes for funding your PhD also exist through our Doctoral Training Centres, Research Associate/Assistant vacancies and Knowledge Transfer Partnerships.
