PhD and Masters funding at the University of York
If you are intending to submit an application for any of the funding opportunities listed, you should first contact a member of staff in the Department to discuss your application.
For research degrees, this should be your prospective supervisor, while for taught programmes this should be the Chair of the Graduate School Board, George Tsoulas (george.tsoulas@york.ac.uk).
If you have not yet been allocated a research supervisor, you should complete the Doctoral Enquiry Form.
The application forms are detailed and require considerable time to prepare. Applicants for funding in all schemes must have applied for a PhD and/or Masters place at York, and should follow the University's postgraduate applications procedure.
Enquiries about all awards and applications may be sent to Professor George Tsoulas (george.tsoulas@york.ac.uk).
Applications take place annually, so opportunities may reopen for the next academic year shortly.
