For all research scholarships we require an expression of interest form to be submitted, rather than a direct application.

How to apply

Applicants should be of outstanding quality and exceptionally motivated.

Scholarships are funded for a maximum of 3 years subject to satisfactory annual performance and progression review, depending on the type of scholarship we will provide tuition fee waivers and, where applicable, a tax-free stipend, paid monthly.

Please note that scholarships have a competitive application process which will include an interview.
