Westminster announces Quintin Hogg Trust PhD Studentships for 2025/2026
The following information is copied from the University’s official website.
The Graduate School at the University of Westminster is very pleased to announce 10 new full PhD studentships funded by the Quintin Hogg Trust to begin in the academic year 2025/26 for a September or January start.
Applications are welcome to our twelve Schools listed below. For any queries about any aspect of the application process or informal enquiries about where your research might fit within a School, please contact the relevant School PhD Coordinator (details below).
In our selection of successful applications, we will be looking in particular for the following:
- Research proposals that fit with one or more of the key themes of our Research Communities
- Research proposals with strong inter-disciplinary potential
- Applications which meet the university’s commitments to equality, diversity and inclusion
The studentships will consist of a fee waiver (at home fee level) and an annual stipend which will match UKRI stipend levels and will include London weighting. UKRI have not announced their 25/26 stipend level yet, but in 24/25 the UKRI UK fees are £5,800 and the stipend is £21,237 (which includes London weighting). The stipend will be for three years.*
Applications are welcomed from international students. The difference between the home fee waiver and the fee for international students would need to be met by the student. Overseas fees for 25/26 are £15,450.
Applications should be submitted by 5pm on Friday 7 February 2025. Interviews will take place in the week beginning 10 March 2025.
Please make sure you detail within the application form the programme you wish to be considered for – see School information below. You must include the title of the studentship in your application i.e. The Quintin Hogg Trust Studentship. Read more about our entry requirements for research degrees, and on how to apply.
The information and resources highlighted on the Thinking of doing a PhD page will also provide useful reading to support your application.
