Edinburgh Global Research Scholarships

Are you an international student looking to pursue a PhD in any field of study? The University of Edinburgh, located in the UK, is offering an excellent opportunity with 30 scholarships for the 2020-2021 academic session. This scholarship covers the difference between tuition fees for UK/EU students and those charged to overseas students, giving you the chance to study at a prestigious institution without financial worries.

Eligibility for these scholarships is based on outstanding academic merit and research potential. While candidates with an upper second class honours Bachelor’s degree (or its overseas equivalent) can be considered, those with a first-class Bachelor’s degree along with an excellent Master’s degree have a higher chance of being competitive.

It’s important to note that factors like financial status, nationality, or the proposed field of study are not taken into account during the selection process. As long as you meet the academic criteria, you have a fair chance of being considered for this scholarship.

The scholarship awards are tenable for up to three years, subject to satisfactory progress in your PhD program. However, it’s important to remember that the scholarship only covers tuition fees and does not provide funds for living expenses.

Applications for this scholarship were closed by 17th February 2020, so if you missed the deadline, keep an eye out for future opportunities.
