SMSAS PhD Studentships
The School of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Science
offers PhD studentships each year through funding from the
Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, the National
Centre for Statistical Ecology, the
National Environment Research Council, the University of Kent
Scholarship office and the School.
The School will award several PhD studentships in 2010.
Our studentships are open to candidates of all nationalities
applying to the PhD programme in Actuarial Science, Mathematics or
Statistics. Applicants must have a good Honours degree (either first
or upper second class) or a Masters degree in a relevant subject.
SMSAS PhD studentships cover tuition fees at the Home/EU rate and
provide a maintenance grant at the same rate as the UK Research
Councils (£13,290 per annum in 2009-10). Recipients will be expected
to do some teaching as part of the terms of the studentship.
International students seeking funding to cover the
International tuition fee are advised to visit the
Scholarship and Loans page.
