University of Sheffield UK EPSRC PhD Studentships

The University of Sheffield says these EPSRC-funded PhDs are delivered through the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and aim to provide training for the next generation of engineering, health, and physical science researchers. EPSRC DLA studentships are sponsored by EPSRC and are described alongside a set of project-specific PhD opportunities.

The scheme is aimed at candidates who will take part in research across engineering, health, and science disciplines that fall within the EPSRC remit. The University of Sheffield also presents the range of training and support provided to doctoral researchers, including the Doctoral Development Programme (DDP) and training introduced through a Welcome and Induction event in the faculty.

The University of Sheffield describes that EPSRC DLA studentships are either standard awards or collaborative awards, with joint supervision and, for collaborative opportunities, an option for a placement at the partner organisation. The selection mechanism for candidates is not explained on the provided page text.

The University of Sheffield states that the studentships cover full UK tuition fees and a stipend at the UKRI rate, and include a Research Training and Support Grant of £4,500 to cover research expenses for the duration of the studentship. Standard awards are described as three and a half-year awards, and collaborative awards offer three and a half or four years of funding. The page text does not describe any obligations after the studentship ends.
