Mathematical and Physical Science scholarships
If a project does not come with funding attached, that does not mean that there is no funding available. Find out what funding opportunities are available to you.
Being offered a place and being offered funding are two separate things. It is a good idea to contact the supervisor of any PhD project you want to apply for before you submit your application, as they may also be able to advise you on sources of funding.
We also accept applications from applicants who are applying for funding separately, or have funding in place already – please include any details in your application form.
Other scholarships from the University of Sheffield and external sources are available for new PhD students to help cover tuition fees and sometimes living expenses.
