Cardiff Business School was ranked 4th out of 90 UK business schools in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, and âexcellentâ for teaching. Lively, elegant, confident and cosmopolitan, the city of Cardiff offers an excellent location in which to study. Students benefit from the combination of a small, friendly, inexpensive city with the cultural and recreational amenities of an ambitious and progressive capital city.

Funding
Studentships will cover your tuition fees as well as a maintenance grant and additional Research Training Support Grant (RTSG) for four years for full-time students. In 2013-14 the maintenance grant for full-time economics students is £16,726 (£3,000 p.a. above the standard rate) and the RTSG is £750, but the award levels for 2014-15 have yet to be published by the ESRC. You will also be entitled to a Cardiff Business School fieldwork allowance of £750 for the duration of the PhD phase.
Eligibility
We are seeking exceptional applicants with a first-class or very good upper second Honours degree, and/or a Masters degree with an average mark of at least 65%.Â
Both UK and EU applicants may apply, and will be eligible for a full award if successful. Due to funding restrictions EU nationals must be able to demonstrate that they have been ordinarily resident (i.e. physically present) in the EU throughout the three-year period immediately preceding the start of the course for which they are seeking funding.
