Faraday Institution PhD & EngD Studentships

The Faraday Institution awards fully funded PhD and EngD studentships each year to supervisors at UK universities working in battery research. Each award covers tuition fees, student stipend, and research consumables for up to four years. The October 2026 cohort offered a minimum of 15 positions. Applications come from UK-based supervisors who meet UKRI/EPSRC research grant eligibility. Both full Faraday Institution funding and co-funding partnerships (with universities, RTOs, national facilities, or UK industry) are available. The programme explicitly encourages applications from supervisors new to the Faraday Institution network, and home students only are funded.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
