Scholarship details
The London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (LISS DTP) will award a number of ESRC-funded postgraduate research studentships to support research and training in the social sciences at our three partner institutions – King’s College London, Queen Mary University of London and Imperial College. These are available for three or four years full-time (or pro-rata as part-time studentships), either as a one-year MRes followed by a PhD (‘1+3.5’) (Students who have been accepted onto our 2-year MRes programme can apply for 1+3 funding after they have enrolled), which candidates apply for through our Open competition; or as a three-year PhD (‘+3.5’), for candidates who already hold an MRes qualification.
All studentships are available full-time or part-time (50%). Full-time students receive a stipend of £22,780 (2025/26 rate) per annum, and their fees are paid. Fees for International students may not be paid in full.
Additional funding for research costs of around £940 per annum, placement costs, overseas fieldwork and institutional visits and difficult language training is also available. Please note that LISS DTP awards do not cover student visa and travel costs to UK.
Studentships are available only to students who have already been accepted into our 2-year MRes programme, from Year 2 through the Ph.D.
Home students from underrepresented backgrounds, disabled students and students with caring responsibilities (sole or primary caregivers for a child or children under the age of 18 or primary caring responsibilities for an adult family member, including a spouse, sibling, or parent).
Students who have been accepted onto our 2-year MRes programme can apply for 1+3 funding after they have enrolled.
In each annual competition, you may submit one application to the Open competition and one application to the CASE competition. Students who are unsuccessful in one year may apply again in a future year.
