We are pleased to announce the next stage of our major postgraduate expansion campaign, 125th Anniversary Research Scholarships. A huge number of people have responded to our announcement, so we apologise for the slight delay in moving forward.
At this point, we are offering around fifty PhD studentships and bursaries, spread across all six of our Colleges. They are open to Home/EU and International students. Whilst some are targeted at particular research specialisms, there are flexible opportunities in a very wide range of subject areas. Further opportunities will be announced later in the year.
The scholarships provide opportunities to the very best students, nationally and internationally, to work with the University’s leading academics and rising international research stars. They also provide opportunities to develop a variety of both academic and transferable skills, which should substantially enhance your career prospects.
Successful applicants for the prestigious 125 Studentships receive a maintenance grant and pay no fees. The bursaries provide a lower level of support.
How to Apply and Further Information
Bangor University will allocate studentships based on the strategic needs of the University as well as the relative academic merit of the candidates. Colleges will inform applicants of the outcome of their applications, but may not be able to give specific individual feedback.
