The Research Excellence Awards are specific PhD projects that support the University’s strategic research ambitions.
Under the Strathclyde Research Studentship scheme the University awards around 70 PhD studentships annually for students commencing their postgraduate studies. The funds are split between Research Excellence Awards, Student Excellence Awards and John Anderson Research Awards. Students successful in the 2021/2022 competition will commence studies in October 2021.
The Strathclyde Research Studentship Scheme 2022/2023 competition will open in Autumn 2021.
Funding is provided to enhance research excellence through defined projects that support the University’s strategic research ambitions, with a focus on internationally-leading research quality, and the number of postgraduate research opportunities in the specified area at the University.
