Fees and funding

CENTA stands for Central England NERC Training Alliance, a consortium of Universities, research institutes and non-academic partners for example that are working together to provide excellence in doctoral research training within the remit of the Natural Environment Research Council.

The Centre for Doctoral Training for Resilient Flood Futures (FLOOD-CDT) will train the next generation of research practitioners who will make a tangible difference to future flood management in the UK and internationally. 

The Midlands Graduate School is an accredited Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP). The DTP offers 17 different training pathways that span various social science disciplines; a large number of postgraduate studentships will be awarded annually across the pathways and institutions, funded by the DTP with contributions from our partner universities.

Our School also offers PhD scholarships open to prospective Geography and Environment students. These are normally advertised in the autumn of each year on specialised websites such as jobs.ac.uk. You can also stay updated on this and other opportunities by following us on Twitter.

Loughborough University also runs several University-wide PhD scholarship schemes that are open to Geography and Environment students. These are targeted at prospective PhD students from specific countries or in specific areas of specialisation.

Students can also fund their own PhD, in which case they may be able to partly cover their expenses with a variety of sources of loans and support from different funders.

Please see the University’s Research degree funding page and the website of the Loughborough Doctoral College.
