About 10 students are admitted to the Manchester PhD track each year, many of which with scholarships given by the University of Manchester or ESRC. You may be admitted with or without funding; in the latter case, you will be advised to search for external funding opportunities. After reviewing your application, we will inform you whether you are accepted or not, and in the former case, if we are able to offer you a scholarship.
While we cannot guarantee funding, it is likely that admitted students whose application we support will be fully funded by a scholarship from the Department of Economics.
There is NO application fee. It is advisable that you apply as soon as possible, and no later than February.
Do apply soon! The later you do so, the least likely we will be able to offer you funding.
