Ulster’s Annual PhD Studentship Competition offers Department for the Economy studentships to home and overseas applicants for full-time and part-time study on-campus. Where available, part-time study mode will be at 50% of the full-time mode. The competition is open for applications from 9 October 2026 for September 2027 entry. The deadline for applications is 4pm on 8 January 2027.

ELIGIBILITY:

Applicants should hold, or expect to obtain by September 2026, a first- or Upper Second Class Honours Degree in a subject relevant to the proposed area of study.  We may also consider applications from those who hold equivalent qualifications, for example, a Lower Second Class Honours Degree plus a Master’s Degree with Distinction.

In exceptional circumstances, the university may consider a portfolio of evidence from applicants who have appropriate professional experience which is equivalent to the learning outcomes of an Honours degree in lieu of academic qualifications.

Applicants who already hold a doctoral degree or who have been registered on a programme of research leading to the award of a doctoral degree on a full-time basis for more than one year, or part-time equivalent, funded from any source, including self-financing researchers, are not eligible for a studentship.

All applicants should also hold a relevant English language qualification (opens in new window).

All applications for studentships will be considered on a competitive basis and with regard to the applicant’s qualifications, skills, experience, and interests.
