International Research Ph.D. Studentship At The University Of Reading Uk 2022

SCHOLARSHIPS

The University of Reading, known As one of the top 20 universities in the UK for research intensity is inviting highly qualified international students who are interested in research within the scope of science, life sciences, social science, arts, and humanities, we have a lot to offer if you want to undertake research that makes an impact.

Depending on your discipline, you may be able to suggest your research topic or apply it to work on a specific project.
We structure our research around four interdisciplinary themes:

Agriculture, Food and Health
Environment
Heritage and Creativity
Prosperity and Resilience
If you have qualified in the arts, humanities, social sciences, or business, you will most likely identify your research topic, taking into account the resources and time available to you.

With a background in science or life science, you will find many opportunities to contribute to predefined projects. Supported by your supervisor, you will still work independently and usually get to shape the project to your interests so that you can make an original contribution.

What is Expected?

The studentships offer:

A subsistence grant (stipend) to match the 2022/23 UK Research Council rate (the 2021/22 rate is £15,609)
Tuition fees at the International rate
A £1,000 p.a. training and development allowance
All awards are for up to three years in duration.
