PhD studentship 2026

We are currently offering a PhD studentship funded by NIHR SSCR for our September 2026 start date.

For further details on the project and how to apply, please see the advert linked below. The closing date for applications will be Friday 17th April.

Intersections of housing and older adult social care 

Other scholarships

You need an offer of PhD study before you can apply for funding, so please apply for a PhD place as early as possible in the academic year. If a place is offered, this gives you time to apply for funding prior to starting your PhD the following September.

Please check the funding priorities, eligibility and deadlines of each funder before you apply. You must ensure that your proposed research is a good fit for the subject areas that the funder intends to fund.

PhD application deadlines apply for some scholarship schemes. These application deadlines may be earlier than the funder’s own deadline for receipt of funding applications. This is so that we can process applications and issue outcomes in time for successful applicants to apply to their preferred funder for funding. 

Funding opportunities and eligibility requirements
