Fees and Funding for PhD Students

Fees

Our fee rates for UK, EU and international PhD students can be found at the University Tuition Fees pages.

Funding

The University of Sheffield and the Department of Computer Science offer a wide range of funding opportunities for PhD students.

• Research Grants. Most of our PhD students are supported by research grants held by individual academics or research groups. Current opportunities are listed here.
• University and Faculty Scholarships. The University of Sheffield and its Faculty of Engineering offer a number of highly competitive scholarships.
• Departmental Scholarships. Each year the Department has funds to finance a number of full scholarships for UK/EU applicants and a number of partial fee scholarships for non-UK/EU applicants.
• EPSRC Doctoral Training Grants. Each year the Department of Computer Science offers a number of additional Doctoral Training Grants to top applicants. To apply you must contact potential supervisors to discuss a project. Your application must consist (1) of a complete application form submitted through university admissions, and (2) a project proposal that has been developed together with your supervisor, and has been submitted to our PhD administrator. Please check the EPSRC web site for eligibility and contact our PhD administrator for further information.
• Other Sources of Funding. Many of our international PhD students are funded by governments or institutions of their home countries, or by international exchange programmes. We are happy to offer help and advice with such applications.
• Additional Support. The Department of Computer Science can offer financial support, potentially in the form of reduced tuition fees, to top up existing financial support if there is a strong case. To apply, please contact our PhD administrator.

If you have any questions relating to fees and funding, please contact the PhD administrator.
