You could receive funding for up to four years. This includes:

• tuition fees
• a training support fund of £1,250 each year

*After successful completion of the first year, this stipend will be enhanced with an additional annual payment. See the SAMBa CDT website for more information.

Funding eligibility

Funding is available for Home and International students; however, in line with guidance from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), the number of awards available to International students will be limited to 30% of the total.

Self-funding applications will be considered.

International students should also note that studentships do not cover UK Student visa costs, or the cost of the mandatory UK Immigration Health Surcharge. These costs can be considerable, so we ask all International applicants to check these costs before applying and to ensure they would be willing and able to cover these from their personal funds.

International applicants must satisfy all visa and immigration requirements.
