The School of Human and Health Sciences offers various funded and partially funded opportunities including scholarships with fee waivers for Master’s by Research and PhD, and fully funded PhD studentships. The opportunities below cross the disciplines of Criminology, Politics, Psychology, Social Work, Social Policy and Sociology. We are a multidisciplinary school and also offer funded opportunities within the disciplines of Health Sciences and Healthcare Research, some of which relate to social and behavioural Sciences.
All scholarship schemes are assessed on a competitive basis judged on academic record, aptitude for research, quality of research proposal and willingness to play an active role within our research community, contributing to seminars and other research events. If you are shortlisted then you will be invited to an interview, conducted remotely via video conferencing as appropriate.
We encourage you to discuss your ideas with potential supervisors in advance of application. Where there are no supervisor contact details included with a funded opportunity, you should identify potential supervisors yourself in advance of application, via our searchable Research Portal and check their availability to supervise your proposed research.
This scheme is for alumni and provides a full tuition fee waiver on either full-time or part-time research degrees. It is open to home and international Huddersfield graduates.
We are seeking the best graduates from across the UK to participate in our Chancellor’s Scholarships Scheme, which gives those selected access to a full tuition waiver, as well as additional funds to attend conferences to disseminate and publish their research.
