Funding

PhD funding is exclusively the responsibility of the PhD student. IRDR strongly recommends that full funding for the three years of a PhD is secured prior to starting, which includes covering tuition, London living expenses, attending relevant conferences/meeting/workshops appropriate to your field and discipline, and any fieldwork, equipment, and software that your research may require over the course of your studies.

Self-funding a PhD is possible, but please bear in mind that self-funding adds significant stress. IRDR offers numerous paid opportunities to our PhD students for career-supporting tasks such as teaching, running social media, and supporting our events, but this work is not sufficient to cover the full costs of pursuing a PhD.

IRDR sometimes advertises PhD scholarships and funded project-related PhD opportunities. We advertise them on our website and social media.听
