The studentships will cover full fees (for home/EU or overseas students) and annual living expenses, currently set at £15,290.
The Grantham Research Institute is the new home to climate change and environment research at LSE, bringing together international expertise from development studies, economics, environmental studies, finance, geography, international relations, law, management science, philosophy, political science, and statistics.

Decisions will be made by a panel representing our interdisciplinary interests. The award will be made solely on outstanding academic merit and research potential. This relates not only to your past academic record, but also to an assessment of your chosen topic and to your likely aptitude to complete a PhD in the time allocated.
Short-listed candidates may be invited to attend an informal interview and if successful advised about making a formal application to LSE.
