Funding is open to UK and international applicants and awards are made on a rolling basis. Competition-based school studentships typically cover UK-level tuition and may provide a living-cost stipend to top-ranked applicants; top-ranked applicants may compete for a Presidential Bursary covering the overseas–UK fee difference. Eligible applicants may receive a residence-based Horizon Europe waiver covering that difference for 3.5 years, without a stipend. The country list cited in the saved material excludes China; a Chinese citizen resident in a listed country can ask the University to assess eligibility. Award scopes differ; individual full overseas-fee coverage, stipend, amount and duration are not guaranteed.
