Engineering PhD Funding Opportunities
Industrial CASE Sponsored Studentships
Applications for Industrial CASE Sponsored Studentships can be made all throughout the year. Industrial CASE provides funding for PhD students where businesses take the lead in arranging projects with the University.
A company allocated an award defines a research project and once the arrangements for the project have been agreed between the company and University, we recruit a student.
For 2012-13 awards, the earliest start date for students is 1 October 2012. These studentships include a period of industrial placement.

Students receive EPSRC funding for 3.5 years (at least the national minimum annual funding award). Companies provide extra funding to the student at a minimum of a third of the EPSRC funding. |
Students must have a relevant connection with the UK, usually established by residence. EU students may be eligible for a fees-only award. |
Information on CASE sponsored opportunities can be obtained by contacting the department relevant to your area of study. |
