Applicants are usually expected to apply for a doctoral course at the University of Warwick and then complete the scholarship application through the university’s postgraduate research funding process. As this is a competitive award, candidates should prepare a strong academic record, a clear research proposal where required, and supporting references.
This scholarship is aimed at international applicants and the study location is the United Kingdom.
