University of Bristol Black Heritage PhD Scholarships for Blacks 2024

We welcome applications for full scholarships to postgraduate research programmes starting in 2024.

As part of our commitment to the Black community, the University of Bristol has launched a number of postgraduate research scholarships exclusively for students of Black heritage for 2024/25 entry.

Our commitment to inclusion

These scholarships aim to address under-representation in postgraduate research. This supports our work to improve representation across all levels of study and academia, and is aligned with the aims of our Black Bristol Scholarships Programme.

We have a wide range of support networks, student societies and community groups for students of Black heritage. These include our Be More Empowered for Success PGR Programme which aims to influence positive change across the themes of access, belonging and empowerment.

This year, we are taking part in the Women’s Higher Education Network 100 Black Women Professors NOW Pipeline Programme (WHEN), which aims to propel the careers of Black PhD students who identify as women of Black heritage, through coaching, development, networking and mentoring. WHEN also work with senior leadership to deliver systemic change.?We are looking to continue to enhance this support as we continue to strive to make our student communities more inclusive.
