More information and how to apply
Postgraduate Doctoral Loans
Non-means-tested loans will be available to students studying postgraduate research courses from September 2018.
Income from teaching
The Department offers some paid teaching in philosophy to its PhD students. From early in their PhD studies, students are eligible to run tutorials for first-year undergraduates on a range of topics. More senior PhD students can then apply for the opportunity to design and deliver a whole module on the topic of their research. Other students gain some lecturing experience through delivery of one or two lectures for an existing module.
External funding
Many external organisations offer funding for postgraduate study but have varying eligibility criteria. Find out more about external funding opportunities.
