From politics to ecology, history to molecular biology, there are opportunities for PhD research in a whole range of subject areas at the universities campuses at Tremough and Exeter.
Some 100 fully funded studentships are now available, which include fees for three years plus an annual maintenance grant to cover living expenses.
An additional 80 bursaries are worth £7,000 a year for three years and include the chance to teach undergraduate students. These positions will all start this autumn and many can be taken up on the Tremough campus.
The number of applications for PhD research has increased by more than 43% over the last three years. The university now has just over 1,200 PhD students, 59 of whom are based at Tremough.
Professor Matthew Evans, Provost of the University of Exeter’s Cornwall Campus, said: “We are striving to become one of the UK’s top 10 universities and to achieve this aim we must help deliver the next generation of academic researchers. We are responding to this challenge by giving the best candidates an opportunity to realise their potential in Cornwall”
