The University will offer PhD scholarships for students commencing PhD studies at the University in the 2023-2024 academic session.
Background
To attract the best and brightest PhD students, the University not only offers unparalleled research opportunities and superior supervision, but through an exciting fellowship program strives to provide development opportunities that will support our research students as they progress beyond the PhD.
Introduction
The University of Edinburgh has been working for some time to embed equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) into its operations and to widen participation (WP) for disadvantaged and underrepresented students. The Doctoral College is committed to embedding EDI in all its policies and processes and to widening access to postgraduate study for traditionally under-represented groups, including BAME students and those from the most deprived communities in Scotland and the rest of the world. The Doctoral College is keen to attract the largest number of applications to this scheme and will ensure that recruitment processes are robust and impartial.
Award
Each scholarship covers University tuition fees as well as a stipend of £17,668pa. Subject to satisfactory progress, scholarships are awarded for a period of three to four years as agreed by the School/Deanship (or part-time on a pro rata basis).
Compatibility
The awards are open to UK and overseas students applying to start their first year of study for a research degree on campus in 2023-2024.
Applicants must have already applied for full or part-time admission to an on-campus PhD research program at the University. Applicants who wish to apply for this scholarship are encouraged to contact their academic school regarding any admission dates.
Please check the Entry Requirements for your proposed program of study for details of other acceptable English language qualifications.
You can apply for the scholarship before you have the necessary English test results, but the results must be uploaded as soon as possible.
These awards cannot be held concurrently with fully funded scholarships, but may be held with partially funded scholarships and are prorated.
Criteria
Applicants must have outstanding academic merit and research potential. Applicants must have, or expect to achieve, a UK first class or 2:1 honors degree at undergraduate level or international equivalent.
