PhD Funding and Scholarships

Postgraduate Tuition Fees for 2021/22 are detailed below. 

Postgraduate fees typically increase each year, therefore if you are studying over more than one academic year, your tuition fee in subsequent years is likely to increase.

Permanent members of University of Suffolk staff who have completed the probationary period at the University of Suffolk, are entitled to undertake a PhD as Staff Development training, and as such, tuition fees are waived.  Each year, staff members are required to complete the Staff Development form at the start of each year of study.

A doctoral loan is available of up to £27,265 (2021-22), to help with the tuition fees and/or living costs for your postgraduate doctoral study. You can apply for the full amount regardless of the actual tuition fee that you will be paying. The loan will be paid directly to you in three instalments in each year of study.
