LJMU Vice-Chancellor PhD Scholarships – 2027

Critères d'éligibilité

Home and international applicants with PhD admission qualifications and identified permanent LJMU lead supervisor. Master students must complete before August/September 2027. Applicants from Cameroon and Sudan who require a UK student visa are affected by a university recruitment suspension; eligibility without that visa requirement needs LJMU confirmation because the scholarship call wording is broader than the portal. See conditional_eligibility. Current official-source clarification: UK and non-UK applicants; supervisor submits award application; already enrolled LJMU doctoral/level-8 students excluded. UK ethnic-minority reserved places require UK residency and must not be advertised as open to all Africans.

Présentation du programme

## Funding Full-time fees/bench fees plus stipend or part-time fee support according to scheme; distinguish reserved UK places from general international competition. ## Funding exclusions and conditions No existing LJMU PhD or other level-8 students; no professional doctorates. Visa/English requirements and associated logistics/costs are applicant responsibility. UK-resident minority ringfence not a separate award. Cameroon/Sudan scope is conditional, not a blanket nationality ban: the portal specifies students requiring a student visa, while the scholarship call uses broader wording. Clarification from LJMU is needed for exceptions. ## Eligibility Home and international applicants with PhD admission qualifications and identified permanent LJMU lead supervisor.

Official application/programme: https://www.ljmu.ac.uk/research/phd-studentship-application ## Official sources - https://www.ljmu.ac.uk/research/phd-studentship-application?dm_i=2SCX - https://paf.ljmu.ac.uk/ ## Source limitations Public official call pages checked; no account created, application submitted or authenticated form tested. Full indexed official text read. One stale enrolment line says August/September 2026, while eligibility section correctly says 2027. Stipend amount not verified.
