At the heart of BU’s research are people. Challenging, influencing, and often surprising, our researchers have a real impact on today’s society, culture and business economics. Our interdisciplinary academic environment supports collaboration that enables research outputs contributing to local, national and international agendas.
Mentoring and encouraging emerging young researchers is one of our greatest strengths. With over 100 PhD students recruited in the last four years, we’re looking for more researchers to come and join us.
Through our fully-funded PhD studentships, successful candidates will be engaged on projects that will enhance our thriving research culture and offer even more potential for societal & cultural impact and commercial exploitation.
Fully-funded candidates will receive a maintenance grant to cover their living expenses and have their fees waived for 36 months. In addition, research costs, including field work and conference attendance, will be met.
