Research Excellence Scholarship – Benefits:
The UCL-Research Excellence Scholarship includes complete tuition (for either domestic or international study) as well as an annual maintenance stipend that rises in line with inflation. The rate for full-time study in 2022–2023 is £19,668 (rates for part-time students are determined “pro rata”).
The fellowship additionally covers additional research expenses of up to £1,200 annually for the program’s declared term.
Awards are given for the typical length of the study program. Subject to making acceptable academic progress, this usually takes 3 years for a full-time MPhil/Ph.D./EngD degree program (or 5 years for part-time study). Observe that CRS and writing up the year are not covered by the money (s).
The scholarship will be extended to the last year of study in cases where students are enrolled in integrated four-year Ph.D. programs. The beginning of the academic year is the funding start date. This will occur on September 25, 2023, for 2023–2024.
Eligibility
Applying for the UCL-Research Excellence Scholarship entails:
enroll in a university abroad.
have applied for admission to, or be enrolled in, a UCL eligible** full- or part-time degree program before the deadline for the scholarship;
possess, or be expected to get, at least an upper second-class honors UK undergraduate degree or an equivalent qualification.
If chosen, to get an award, you must:
possess admission to an offer from UCL for a full-time or part-time research degree program, or be enrolled in one at the time of the request.
If you are a current student, you may apply; however, if you are beginning your third year of research, funding will typically only be considered in rare circumstances.
PLEASE NOTE This fellowship is not available for distance learning, non-resident PhDs, or professional doctorates (DClinPsy, DDent, DEdPsy (Brain Sciences), DOrth, and DPsychotherapy). EngDs are eligible to apply because they are not regarded as professional doctorates here.
