The Department is a multidisciplinary one, and relatively small, with about
15 academic staff and 20-25 PhD students. We pride ourselves on the
friendly, informal atmosphere in the department and on the facilities
provided for postgrads, all of whom at present have office space and a PC.
The studentships include (i) a maintenance grant of approx. £10,500 per
annum for three years; and (ii) fees at the EU/UK rate for three years.
Non-EU/UK students may apply, but would have to cover the difference
between the EU/UK fees and International fees themselves (the difference
currently being approx. £5,700 per annum).
Please note that the criteria for determining your fee status are not based
simply on nationality, but also involve residency - for details please see

Non-EU/UK students may also apply to the Overseas Research Student Award
