University of Exeter - GW4 BioMed Scholarship Requirements
- Residency: GW4 BioMed3 studentships are available to UK and International applicants. Following Brexit, the UKRI now classifies EU students as international unless they have rights under the EU Settlement Scheme. The GW4 partners have agreed to cover the difference in costs between home and international tuition fees. International candidates will be required to personally cover the cost of their student visa, healthcare surcharge and other costs of moving to the UK.
- Academic criteria: Applicants for a studentship must have obtained, or be about to obtain, a first or upper second-class UK honours degree, or the equivalent qualification gained outside the UK, in an appropriate area of medical sciences, computing, mathematics or the physical sciences. Applicants with a lower second-class degree will only be considered if they also have a master’s degree.
- English requirements: If English is not your first language you will need to meet the English language requirements of the university that will host your PhD by the start of the programme. For projects based at the University of Exeter, this will be at least 6.5 in IELTS or an acceptable equivalent.
