Scholarship opportunities

LSBU PhD Scholarships

LSBU is a modern university with a mission to transform lives, communities, businesses, and society through applied education and insight. We strive to influence the wider world and positively impact the society around us. LSBU's PhD Scholarships are central to this vision.

London South Bank University (LSBU) offers a comprehensive suite of doctoral programmes through its Doctoral College, encompassing PhDs, professional doctorates (such as EdD and Health and Social Care), and master's by Research degrees. These programmes span diverse disciplines, including engineering, psychology, business, law, education, and the arts, providing students with opportunities to engage in impactful research under the guidance of experienced supervisors. LSBU's research culture is characterised by its applied focus, aiming to address real-world challenges through interdisciplinary collaboration and engagement with industry and community partners. This approach enhances the relevance and impact of its research and provides doctoral students with valuable experience in translating academic findings into practical solutions.

London South Bank University (LSBU) comprises three colleges: the College of Health and Life Sciences, the College of Technology and Environment, and the College of Society and Professions. Across these colleges, LSBU hosts 10 schools where PhD scholarships will be offered.

These scholarships provide a unique opportunity to collaborate with leading researchers while receiving advanced academic training, supervision, mentoring, civic engagement experience, and access to networking and industry partnerships.

Types of Scholarships

In the 2025/26 academic year, two types of scholarship funding are available:

  1. LSBU Chancellor's Scholarships: This round will offer approximately 100 fee-waiver awards, covering tuition fees only for four years.
  2. In addition, the College of Technology and Environment will fund one CTE PhD Studentship. These awards cover three-year tuition fees and an annual stipend of £21,622 (2025/26 rate, including London Weighting). While the fourth writing-up year will not include a stipend, a tuition fee waiver will still be provided.

The Scholarships provide an opportunity to work with leading researchers and receive advanced education, supervision, mentoring, civic engagement, networking opportunities and industry engagement.

Please click on the link to the relevant School to learn more about the specific scholarships we are offering and how to apply:

College of Health and Life Sciences (CHLS)

College of Technology and Environment (CTE)

College of Society and Professions (CSP)

Duration of Scholarships

The scholarships are available for full-time study and are open exclusively to new PhD applicants from the UK, EU, and international countries. Current LSBU PhD and other doctoral (such as EdD or ProfDoc) students are not eligible to apply. Recipients are expected to complete their PhD within four years (48 months), which includes the writing-up year, examination process, and submission of the final corrected thesis.

Starting dates

Although there is no recruitment deadline, scholarships are expected to begin in September, and specific dates may differ across the colleges.

Academic entry requirements

Applicants should normally have at least a 2.1 honours degree from a UK University, an equivalent qualification, or comparable qualifications from another recognised university. The University will assess your ability and background knowledge for your proposed research. This will include professional experience, publications and written reports.

Relevant Information

Applications for the Chancellor's Scholarships are reviewed on a rolling basis until all places are filled; therefore, early submission is strongly recommended to secure a spot. International applicants are responsible for their visa expenses and CAS insurance. Bench fees may apply—please consult the relevant college pages for complete details.

Course Content

A PhD, by definition, is an original contribution to knowledge. A research degree is different from a taught course. Research students are expected to self-direct their learning with support from a supervisory team. 

Careers

What’s in it for me?

Employability Service

At LSBU, we want to set you up for a successful career. During your studies – and for two years after you graduate – you’ll have access to our Employability Service, which includes:

  • Free employability workshop and events for student all year round, more details can be found on our event section.
  • Online board where you can see a wide range of placements: part-time, full-time or voluntary. You can also drop in to see our Job Shop advisers, who are always available to help you take the next step in your search.

Our Student Enterprise team can also help you start your own business and develop valuable entrepreneurial skills.

Research skills development

All research students are required to participate in a Key Skills Development programme aimed at developing transferable skills in addition to those employed in carrying out research. Training in research methods is available through frequent research seminars.

When necessary the research student can follow, in part, relevant Masters courses available within the School and in particular units on research methodology. In some cases, research students are encouraged to follow other courses available within the University or externally aimed at improving their general expertise in their chosen areas.

In addition, they may be encouraged to follow language courses aimed at improving their oral and written skills - both essential in their future careers.

Transferable skills

A research degree will equip you with many transferable skills. The self-discipline, the demand for clear analytical thinking, and the ability to turn criticism of others work into something constructive of your own, all constitute a unique training for almost any kind of career. The excitement and satisfaction of finding new facts, a new idea, or a new way of looking at something can be highly rewarding.

Attending conferences

Research students are often sponsored to attend national and international conferences and to meet leading scientists in their fields and to present their research findings. The progress of all research students is formally monitored by the University's Research Degree Committee.

Academic Technology Approval Scheme

If you are a non-EU/EEA national, you may need to apply to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) for clearance from the Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS) in order to study this course. ATAS certificate is a requirement for enrolment at the University, you will need one if you are an international student applying to study for a postgraduate qualification in the UK and it is now a requirement for every Visa application. Please note, an ATAS certificate is not needed for you to submit an application for a course at LSBU and to receive an offer.

You can find more information about whether you will require this via the FCO website and in our MyLSBU guide to the Academic Technology Approval Scheme.

The process for obtaining an ATAS certificate can take some time so it is important that you check whether you need one as early as possible so that you can make your application for the certificate to obtain it in good time. Failure to produce a valid ATAS certificate could result in delays to receiving your CAS or we may be unable to enrol you at the University.

The CAH code for this course is CAH10-01-09.
