Teaching Studentships offer a tuition fee waiver (at the home/EU rate) and a stipend of £5000. The studentship covers three years of full time PhD registration and funds the studentship holder for up to 6 months (paid pro rata) of their writing-up year. In addition, the Teaching Studentship includes a defined teaching role and training programme offering the opportunity to gain valuable experience and career development at the same time as carrying out doctoral research. The teaching workload, including training, preparation and marking time is usually expected to be around 50 hours. The actual number of hours depends upon the specific teaching studentship. The eligible department will offer further guidance on the specific expectations of a particular Teaching Studentship.

- Have applied for and been offered a place on a full time PhD programme in the relevant Department.
- Have or expect to obtain a first or upper second class honours degree or equivalent prior to commencing the PhD degree.
