New EPSRC award to provide dedicated support for PhD research training
The University of Warwick has successfully received £7.7M from EPSRC as an institutional Doctoral Landscape Award (DLA) for three intakes from 2025/26. This award will provide dedicated support for PhD research training in EPS, funding at least 80 3.5-year studentships.
The DLA enables us to support a wide research community and respond to emerging areas, which will complement externally funded cohort-based PhD training and lead to a good balance of support throughout the EPSRC portfolio, while also creating a synergy with Warwick’s existing CDTs/DTPs. For this round of allocation, we will also introduce Interdisciplinary Studentships that can support more diverse projects co-supervised with academics from outside of core EPS area, such as medicine/life sciences/business.
