PhD at Planning, Property and Environmental Management at UoM

I have been accepted into the PhD programme in Planning, Property and Environmental Management at The University of Manchester. I understand that scholarships will be announced by May 30, and in the meantime, I would like to learn more about the university and my department.
I was wondering if there are current PhD students or researchers in this field whom I could connect with to gain insights about the programme. Additionally, I would like to gather information about funding opportunities beyond scholarships, such as teaching assistantships, joining a research group, or other available roles within the department.
I would really appreciate any guidance you could provide on this matter. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response.

Hi! Did you receive the funding ?
