Other Funding

From September 2021, UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is opening up its PhD studentships to international students (including European students). All students selected for a PhD studentship are entitled to full funding, with UKRI covering a stipend and fees at the home level, while Aberystwyth University covers the difference between home and international fees. Recipients will therefore not be liable for any tuition fees. More information can be found on the UKRI website.

International students are strongly encouraged to approach the British Council in their home countries at the earliest date possible to enquire about assistance.  In addition, most British Council offices will have a library of resources that you can use to find out about independent charities and trusts that may have scholarships to award in your chosen field of study.

For further information visit the British Council website.
