Postgraduate funding

As a research-intensive University, we recognise the vital role postgraduates play in our research and student community. We also recognise that funding your study can be a major barrier to realising your ambitions.

To attract the most talented students and researchers of the future, we invest heavily in funding for postgraduates. For 2011 entry, we offered more than 100 PhD funding awards covering many subjects, as well as a range of a scholarships for Masters students. PhD awards for 2012 entry will be made available from late 2011 onwards.

In order to aid your search for postgraduate funding opportunities at Exeter, we have developed a web-based funding database search facility which enables you to search for all relevant funding opportunities by subject area and level of study. Our funding web pages provide details of the major funding awards available.

Many awards are competitive and merit-based so if you are considering applying for a funding scheme, we recommend investigating options early.
