Funding, Scholarships, Expenses

Funding and scholarships

Warwick Industrial Fellowships (WIF) and Warwick Collaborative Fellowships (WCF)

WIF and WCF aim to encourage departments to raise funding toward PhD or other doctoral scholarships from non-traditional sources which might not be expected otherwise to fund postgraduate research. This would exclude the Research Councils in the UK.

For guidance and more detail on purpose and bidding, finances, award allocation and decisions, please visit the DC webpage.


  • There are four WIF/WCF awards in total for the Faculty of Arts and Humanities.
  • Warwick Industrial Fellowships (WIF) and Warwick Collaborative Fellowships (WCF) within the Faculty of Arts and Humanities will now only be accepted with prior permission to submit an application from the Doctoral College (doctoralcollege@Warwick.ac.uk).

The Doctoral College provides comprehensive guidance on financial support for current PGRs.

    Other funding schemes/non-funded PGRs

    PGRs funded by the following schemes should refer to the guidance on the Doctoral College website for details of the research expenses to which they are entitled:

    • Chancellor's International Scholarships
    • Commonwealth PhD Scholarships
    • China Scholarship Council (CSC)
    • EUTOPIA
    • Monash-Warwick Alliance
    • Wolfson Postgraduate Scholarships in Humanities
    • CADRE Scholarship (these may be offered on occasion in the future)
    • Sanctuary Scholarships
    • Sasakawa Japanese Studies

    Most PGRs are also entitled to research expenses from their department - please liaise with your DGS and/or PG Administrator about this.

    University guidance on spending your research expenses is available here. Again, please liaise with your department if you are unsure.
