PhD research
Support PhD research to strengthen Bristol’s research into some of society’s greatest challenges.
PhD students work across the University, researching areas as diverse as Parkinson’s disease, artificial intelligence, international environmental law, and the challenges of antimicrobial resistance.
Work undertaken by PhD students drives forward Bristol’s research agenda, contributing to new discoveries and enhancing the University’s global reputation. PhD graduates go on to become outstanding research and policy leaders in their field.
Philanthropic funding for PhD study enables researchers with outstanding potential to join the Bristol research community and focus entirely on their research activity:
