Sources of funding
There are a number of different funding opportunities available to you as a doctoral researcher at WBS. For up to date information on funding availability we recommend that you refer to the Graduate School Portal.
Please note that, in most cases, you need to hold an offer of a place on our Doctoral Programme to be eligible for funding. Please check the eligibility criteria before you apply. We recommend early application.
WBS Scholarships and Bursaries

- We have funds available to support exceptional applicants to our Doctoral Programme. To be eligible for consideration for one of these scholarships we would expect you to apply for other funding opportunities as detailed below.

Successful applicants receive a bursary for the following academic year and are required to re-apply for subsequent years as appropriate.
