PhD Studentship: University of Bristol Business School PhD Bursaries

University of Bristol - University of Bristol Business School

The project: University of Bristol Business School (UBBS) bursaries of £20,780 awarded to outstanding applicants. The bursary includes mandatory Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) responsibilities as a condition of the award, with teaching hours separately compensated at an additional hourly rate.

UBBS is committed to innovative PGR training to support and encourage our PhD researchers to reach the highest echelons of social science research. Whilst remaining committed to established areas in accounting, finance and business disciplines, UBBS is investing heavily in interdisciplinary research that broaches emerging fields of AI and socio-tech; sustainability and new work practices. We have many potential supervisors and welcome applications focusing on topics in line with our academic groups.

You’ll be studying with world-leading academics at a top 5 UK university for research (REF 2021), QS ranked 51, in the newly built Temple Quarter campus in the vibrant and diverse port city of Bristol. Find out more about our PhD programmes.
