Swansea University 2024 Postgraduate Prospectus

You can start your PhD at Swansea University in October, January, April or July. Give yourself 3 to 6 months to plan and research before submitting your application. At Swansea, we offer two main types of PhD project: • Those that are pre-designed by an academic (more common in science and engineering subjects) • Those that you design yourself

FOR A PhD ?

A pre-designed project will often be part of wider research being undertaken by an academic or research group. These usually have a defined title, fixed aims and objectives, and you’ll normally be supervised by the academic that designed the project. Swansea University advertises a large number of these opportunities throughout the academic year in all subject areas.

FUNDING:

Research scholarships at Swansea University usually provide funding for the duration of your studies. There are also PhD loans available through Student Finance England and Student Finance Wales.

APPLICATION:

Applying is straightforward – you’ll just need to follow the instructions on the project advertisement. These will usually have a specific application deadline so allow yourself plenty of time to complete any paperwork and gather references if required.
