A number of scholarship opportunities are available at Leeds University Business School and the University of Leeds, covering both UK and International applicants.
The Centre for Decision Research in the Business School is keen to encourage applications from students wishing to undertake a PhD in the area of decision research, and would be interested in discussing potential projects with students who would like to study here.
Deadlines for applications are in January to April 2025, links below.
The Centre for Decision Research does work in a range of topics considering decision making from a number of perspectives. The Centre has a strong interdisciplinary focus that has led to research collaborations across a wide range of academic disciplines, with much work being applied and externally funded. Members of the Centre publish extensively in academic journals, edited books and practitioner journals, as well as presenting at major national and international conferences.
As a doctoral student in the centre you will benefit from a supportive environment with the opportunity to present and get feedback informally, as well as to disseminate your work through the Centre's seminar series, which is promoted outside the university.
