Joint PhD Scholarships 2026/27

Joint PhD Scholarships are offered by the King's Doctoral College for joint PhD programmes between King's College London and four of its international partner universities for the 2026/27 academic year. The partner universities include The University of Hong Kong, Humboldt University Berlin, The National University of Singapore, and The University of Sao Paulo. The scholarship covers full tuition fees at home or international rate, an annual stipend at the UKRI rate, and an annual research grant ranging from £1,000 to £5,000 depending on the research project whilst at King's. This prestigious funding opportunity allows doctoral students to conduct their research across two institutions in different countries, providing a rare opportunity for cross-cultural work and networking. Students are required to spend a set minimum amount of time at the partner university, with requirements varying by partnership. The programme spans a wide range of subject areas including politics, economics, public health, natural sciences, biomedical sciences, engineering, humanities, and more.
