Funding
All applications submitted to a UK higher education institution require a fee status assessment based on UK Government regulations. Applicants will be classified as either ‘Home’ or ‘Overseas’.
Further information on fee status regulations is available from the UKCISA website: Find your fee status .
Studentships normally pay tuition fees at the ‘Home student’ UKRI fee rate only.
Applicants classified as ‘Overseas’ will be required to cover the difference between the Home fee rate and the institutional Overseas fee rate from other funding sources. This is typically an annual cost of approximately £15,000–£20,000 for full-time students.
Studentship awardees are not normally permitted to use their stipend or research and training support budget to top up tuition fees.
If you are self-funding, you will be expected to provide evidence of your ability to cover the cost of fees as part of the application process.
