This page lists investments each UKRI research council has made through doctoral landscape awards, some of which may be currently recruiting or funding students.
Organisations seeking open or upcoming landscape award opportunities can search for opportunities. Prospective doctoral students should read our studentships guidance for students.
Landscape awards are one of two types of doctoral training investment under the collective talent funding scheme.
Some awards are allocated by a formula or algorithm to fund individual institutions. The following councils use a formula or algorithm to allocate landscape awards:
- Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)
- Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC)
- Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) (changed to using a funding formula from 2026)
Other councils award them competitively, as opportunities available to apply for. These are awarded to partnerships or consortiums of institutions.
Landscape awards allocated by funding formula
