University Postgraduate Assistantships (MPhil/PhD Students)
Roehampton offers a small number of Postgraduate Assistantships each year in specific subject areas. The awards are offered competitively and if successful you would receive a full tuition fee waiver and a maintenance bursary for 3 years. In exchange for your bursary, you may be required to teach or undertake equivalent duties up to 6 hours per week. The Postgraduate Assistantships and their terms are advertised on www.jobs.ac.uk when they become available.
University Postgraduate Studentships (MPhil/PhD Students)
Schools offer a limited number of Postgraduate Scholarships each year of which the terms differ across Schools. Postgraduate Scholarships are usually equivalent to the remission or partial remission of tuition fees but in some cases a maintenance bursary may also be offered. When scholarships are available they are advertised nationally through websites such as www.findaphd.com and www.jobs.ac.uk. Scholarship competitions will also be advertised through the Roehampton University website and included on this Postgraduate Funding Page.
International Students
International students are not excluded from the University's Postgraduate Assistantship or Scholarship schemes, although you may be required to pay the difference between the 'home' and 'overseas' fee rates.
