Donors can make a difference by supporting the Newcastle University Research and Discovery Fund, or by supporting PhD Studentships.
Newcastle University Research and Discovery Fund
Research at Newcastle University is advancing at a pace and with an extraordinary real-world impact. Philanthropic support ensures that promising discoveries move even more quickly from idea to impact, transforming lives and communities.
Since the Newcastle University Research and Discovery Fund was launched in 2023, over £600,000 has been donated.
Donations have helped us:
- invest in research programmes with global reach and real-world impact
- ensure that our world-leading academic teams have access to state-of-the-art facilities for the most ambitious research programmes of the future
- support PhD scholarships and early-career researchers
PhD Scholarships
To help tackle some of the greatest issues facing society today, we need to attract top research talent to Newcastle University. Finding funding for PhD study can often be challenging, but donor-supported PhD scholarships remove these barriers and ensure talented research students can take the first steps in their academic careers.
Newcastle's donor community has supported over 200 PhD scholarships in the past 3 years.
