PhD Studentships

Coventry University are currently offering a number of funded PhD opportunities for prospective candidates, beginning in 2024.

All of our PhD studentships have been put together by leading researchers across the institution, covering a breadth of disciplines and research areas.

With just under 600 academics working in our challenge-led, interdisciplinary Research Centres, each excelling in its own specialist areas, our ambition is focused on delivering 'excellence with impact'. This means our research goes beyond just enhancing academic knowledge and effects real change in the wider world.

From autonomous vehicles and digital culture to sustainability and data sciences, Coventry University has a wide range of PhD opportunities that will stimulate and inspire.
