The School of Law of The University of Manchester invites applications from suitably qualified candidates for a School of Law Criminology GTRA Scholarship to fund a PhD. The School of Law is a multi-disciplinary School, and we welcome applications from candidates proposing to undertake doctoral research in the areas of criminology, socio-legal studies, law, bioethics, or social ethics & policy.

The GTRA Scholarship will offer the full payment of tuition fees for the duration of the PhD (three years), plus an additional annual stipend as a contribution to maintenance – altogether, an annual amount of approximately £17,000.
