Newcastle University Overseas Research Scholarship (NUORS), UK

Newcastle University is offering university funded NUORS awards for outstanding international students who apply to commence PhD studies in any subject in 2014/15.

Each award (value approximately £5,000 to £9,000 per annum) covers the difference between fees for UK/EU students and international students.

• have been offered a place on a PhD research programme
• have been assessed as international/overseas for fees purposes, and are wholly or partially self-financing
• intend to register to start your studies during the 2014/15 academic year

Applications for a NUORS award cannot be made for a programme that has already been started by a student.
