Frequently asked questions

I'm not a UK citizen, can I still apply for a funded EngD?

-90% of our funded places are available only to UK citizens, or EU residents who have been living in the UK for the past three years. Applicants who are not British citizens but have indefinite right to remain in the UK may be eligibile for EPSRC funding, pending the status of residency. Please refer to the EPSRC webpage.

From 2011, the VEIV CDT may offer one funded place per year to an overseas candidate. Propectie international applicants must contact the EngD Centre Manager Dr Jamie O'Brien prior to submitting a formal application.
