PhD Studentship: University of Bristol Business School PhD Bursaries

The project:

University of Bristol Business School (UBBS) bursaries of £20,780 awarded to outstanding applicants. The bursary includes mandatory Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) responsibilities as a condition of the award, with teaching hours separately compensated at an additional hourly rate.

UBBS encourages applications that relate to our three interdisciplinary research themes: 1. Technology and Society, broadly understood as the interaction between social and technical aspects of systems, organisations or innovations; 2. Financial systems, covering finance, financial regulation and FinTech; 3. Sustainability, for example, critical accounting for sustainability, food systems, and circular economies.  We value interdisciplinary approaches to research and, where appropriate, can form interdisciplinary PhD supervision teams with colleagues from across the University', as well as from within our academic groups.

You’ll be studying with world-leading academics at a top 5 UK university for research (REF 2021), QS ranked 51, in the newly built Temple Quarter campus in the vibrant and diverse port city of Bristol. Find out more about our PhD programmes.
