We seek highly motivated individuals with an appropriate academic background (generally a Distinction at MSc level in a finance-related subject) from a good university. We encourage applied and relevant research and our strong connections with many financial firms allow students to gain industry experience during their doctoral research, if they wish. Biographies of and some papers written by, our current PhD students can be viewed at www.icmacentre.ac.uk/about_us/doctoral_research_staff.

Every year we offer funding for up to 20 PhD studentships, of full fees plus up to £15,000 living allowance. Scholarships are normally for three years, subject to progress. Successful candidates will be required to provide approximately 60-70 hours of teaching assistance on our MSc and/or BSc degrees annually, always working closely with appropriate faculty. Visit the Scholarships page for more information on how to apply.
