UKRI-funded postgraduate researchers

At the end of March 2021, the UKRI announced a third round of funding extensions, run and managed by the DTPs and CDTs.  Please contact your DTP / CDT directly for information how this scheme is being implemented.  

 

Externally-funded postgraduate researchers

If you are wholly funded by an external organisation:

• Work with your supervisor and liaise with the company/organisation to request a funding extension.
• If the company/organisation agrees to a funding extension, please inform the Doctoral School so that your student funding record can be up-dated.
• Please note that you should request full fees from the company/organisation, rather than writing-up fees, for the extension to your current programme of study. 
• You should also check with the company/organisation that they agree to a commensurate extension to your submission date too.  Please inform the Doctoral School if this the case.

 

 Government-funded postgraduate researchers

• Work with your supervisor and liaise with your government to request a funding extension.
• If your government agrees to a funding extension, please inform the Doctoral School so that your student funding record can be up-dated.
• Please note that you should request full fees from your government, rather than writing-up fees, for the extension to your current programme of study. 
• You should also check with your government that they agree to a commensurate extension to your submission date too.  Please inform the Doctoral School if this the case.
