Glasgow Computing Science PhD studentships, 2027 start

Effort: High · OCTOBER 19, 2026

Most awards: UKRI stipend £22,437 for 2027-28; tuition terms vary

Deadline: 2027-01-31

Applications for the October 2027 cohort close 31 January 2027. Funding can cover international tuition and, in most cases, UKRI-rate stipend (£22,437 for 2027-28); awards vary by scheme.

Why youThis is a real funded fallback if sponsorship fails, but it is not an emergency bridge for the December 2026 visa deadline and the funding is competitive.

Glasgow Computing Science says it is offering studentships for PhD starts in October 2027 or shortly after, with applications for this funding round due by 31 January 2027.

Funding can cover tuition fees for home and international students and, in most cases, living expenses at the UKRI stipend rate of £22,437 for session 2027-28. The page lists different schemes: some offer home-fee coverage, international fee discounts or specific teaching commitments, so the package is not uniform.

This is a route to study permission, not an employment visa or guaranteed family solution. Check the exact award's international fee coverage, stipend, ATAS needs, dependants rules and whether the research fit is credible before applying.

Fit assessment: strategic but uncertain. A strong proposal and supervisor match in applied AI/ML or software systems would help. The deadline is January 2027, after the Graduate visa filing deadline, so it cannot replace filing on time.
