The scholarships will be awarded based on academic merit. The scholarships tenure would be 3 years of full time study and the value would be up to £5,000.
For Open PhD Scholarships, candidates must not be in receipt of a full scholarship (tuition fees and living costs) from any other sources. Students with partial scholarships from other sources will be considered. For Open Master’s Scholarships and Undergraduate Scholarships, students must be self-funded.
Candidates for Open Scholarships must be classified by the University as international students for fees purposes. Except in the case of Open PhD Scholarships, all Open Scholarships are awarded only in the form of a reduction in tuition fees payable.
Where an Open Scholarship is awarded to a candidate who is also eligible for a fee discount, the discount will be calculated after the Scholarships reduction to the tuition fees payable has been made. Some scholarship funding may also be available to outstanding PhD students who begin their studies at other points in the academic year.
The award is available for PhD study starting in September / October 2008. To apply please complete the application form. Application deadline: 31 May 2008.
