ENAIBLE offers six fully funded doctoral places per cohort (year).

Only applications from applicants who are eligible for Home fees will currently be considered for this course.

Eligibility

Applicants should hold (or expect to obtain) a first-class or strong upper-second-class undergraduate degree (or international equivalent) in a relevant discipline.

Relevant disciplines include computer science, mathematics, statistics, engineering, and physics.

Funding

Funded places cover tuition fees and provide a doctoral stipend at the UKRI rate.

Because ENAIBLE is funded by the BBSRC, your proposed research topic must fall within the BBSRC remit. You are encouraged to review the published BBSRC research remit and priority areas before applying.
