Funding for doctoral studies at BCAST
If you are a home or EU student, there are a number of studentships available at BCAST through EPSRC CASE studentships. EPSRC funding is available for all UK and EU-nationals, normally resident in the UK. The funding covers both tuition fees and bursary for the three year duration of the PhD. If you are a non-EU student, please contact us directly to discuss about possible funding opportunities and research proposals. Informal enquiries can be made to Prof Isaac Chang at all times.
