Funding & Mobility
We offer a range of funding opportunities to support researcher development.
We also manage institutional funds for doctoral research and provide input to policy ensuring that postgraduate issues inform wider University developments.
Over the last ten years we have awarded over half a million pounds in travel awards. These enabled researchers to present at academic conferences, visit overseas institutes, collaborate with other research institutions and to fund novel interdisciplinary research projects.
Global opportunities to help you suceed
The Graduate School manages a number of financial awards designed to enable you to access international opportunities and increase your researcher mobility and profile. Whether you are looking to foster your research collaboration network, or to develop a global dimension to your career you will have the chance to compete for a range of awards and prizes.
The International Research Collaboration Award (IRCA) offers an opportunity to broaden your international experience as a researcher through a fully funded visit, of up to two months duration. The collaboration could be with an organisation based anywhere in the world.
