Research degree funding

Bunel offers a number of funding options to research students that help cover the cost of their tuition fees, contribute to living expenses or both. Most popular of these are Studentships. These are usually available for a specific, already existing research project with a particular supervisor. They cover the cost of the tuition fees and provide a stipend towards your living expenses. Students can also apply for research funding through Doctoral Training Programmes, where the research areas are more open and students are often invited to propose their own research topics.

The UK Government is also offering the Postgraduate Doctoral Loans for eligible students and there is some funding available through the Research Councils. Many of our international students benefit from funding provided by their governments or employers. Brunel alumni enjoy tuition fee discounts of 15%.
