PhD Projects in CCMP

We have a number of different scholarships and funding in our Research Centre available. In particular, we have:

Full Scholarship: This project has been selected for a full scholarship, which can be for applicants from the UK or overseas. We note that there are a limited number of overseas applications, in line with UKRI guidelines.
CSC: These projects have been selected for support by the Faculty for Chinese Scholarship Council funding. Please check eligibility criteria with the CSC.

We are also able to accept applications from students with funding from other sources, such as the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB). Commonwealth or many other sources of funding. If you want to consider a PhD using this funding, or self fund, please get in touch with the academic to discuss potential projects (that do not necessarily have to be the same as the list below).
