Postgraduate Funding
MiSoC Linked Studentships:
The ESRC Research Centre on Micro-Social Change (MiSoC) has four fully funded PhD studentships still available.
These studentships are supervised by leading scholars, three are housed within ISER, one is based at and awarded by the University of Bristol. Our PhD students are an integral part of the MiSoC team, as well as benefiting from the same funding and training benefits, and affiliation with, the broader South East Network for Social Sciences.
Fees only studentships are open to all applicants. Check individual PhD descriptions for information on stipends and residential eligibility.
