Funding for All Applicants

Department of Statistics CDT Studentships & EPSRC Doctoral Training Account (DTA) Studentships

The Department of Statistics has 12-16 PhD studentships available for students starting during the academic year 2024/25, some of which are reserved for Home (UK) students. Nonetheless, the majority are open to students of all nationalities.

The studentships for entry into the Warwick Centre for Doctoral Training in Mathematics and Statistics will cover Home (UK) or Overseas academic fees as appropriate, plus a maintenance allowance of (£19,237 for 24/25).

Funded students will also receive a generous Research Training Support Grant (RTSG) worth £5,000 for the duration of the PhD. You can find more information on this here: Conferences (warwick.ac.uk) 

Students may be expected to carry out some tutorial duties. Funding is available, subject to satisfactory performance, for the full 4 years of the CDT programme. The Department will start to take funding decisions around the end of November. For this reason, we strongly encourage you to apply in the Autumn for a start the following year. Whilst we accept applications up to June, funding is often exhausted much earlier in the admissions cycle.
