Eligibility
The awards are open to overseas students commencing a PhD in any field of study. Applicants must be liable to pay tuition fees at the rate applicable to overseas students and must have already applied for admission to a full-time PhD research programme of study. Applicants must be of outstanding academic merit and research potential. Although candidates with an upper second class honours Bachelor's degree (or the overseas equivalent) can be considered, in order to be competitive you should really have a first class Bachelor's degree supplemented by an excellent Master's degree. Other factors such as financial status, nationality and the proposed field of study are not taken into account.
