Postgraduate funding
You might be eligible to apply for ESRC or AHRC funding (for MA/PhD or PhD-only). Formerly, this funding was only available to UK and EU students but the eligibility criteria have recently been expanded to include all applicants. The funding is highly competitive and the funding application deadline is typically early February for a degree that starts in October of the same year. Therefore, we highly recommend that you contact us by the end of the November before the application deadline if you want us to help you to develop a strong submission. It’s ok if you haven’t submitted a PhD application by then, just get in touch and we can discuss things.
Note that it is also possible to arrange co-supervision with our partner universities in the North West Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (our only partner that does work in speech is University of Manchester). This can be useful when the best mix of supervisory expertise for a particular topic spans Lancaster and Manchester.
