The awards are open to high calibre students of all nationalities studying across all research areas at the School but, in particular, we are seeking to support application from
- UK Students
- Black, Minority Ethnic (BME) students, especially from Black African/ Caribbean, Pakistani and Bangladeshi heritage
Eligibility
LSE PhD Studentships are tenable for four years and cover full fees and an annual stipend of 18,000 pounds. They are available for UK, EU and international students undertaking research in any LSE discipline, with annual renewal subject to satisfactory academic performance.
These awards will be made solely on the basis of outstanding academic merit and research potential. This relates both to your past academic record and to an assessment of your likely aptitude to complete a PhD in your chosen topic in the time allocated.

Academic departments nominate students for consideration by a School panel for all PhD funding opportunities they may be eligible for. There is no separate application for any of these studentships.
