LSBU Chancellor's PhD Scholarships

London South Bank University, United Kingdom

Scholarship overview

LSBU's PhD Scholarships support new doctoral researchers across its ten schools in the Colleges of Health and Life Sciences, Technology and Environment, and Society and Professions. Scholars work with leading researchers and receive advanced training, supervision, mentoring, civic engagement experience, networking and industry engagement.

In 2025/26 the Chancellor's Scholarships round offers approximately 100 fee-waiver awards covering tuition fees only for four years. In addition, the College of Technology and Environment funds one CTE PhD Studentship.
