Edinburgh Doctoral College Scholarships

Scholarship Name	Edinburgh Doctoral College Scholarships
Academic Year	2025
The University will offer PhD scholarships for students starting their PhD research at the University in the 2025-2026 academic session. Background In order to attract the best and brightest PhD students, the University seeks to offer not only unparalleled research facilities and superb supervision, but also to provide development opportunities which will support our research students as they progress beyond their PhD, through an exciting scholarship scheme. Access The University of Edinburgh has been working for some time to embed equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in its activities and to widen participation (WP) for students from disadvantaged and underrepresented backgrounds. The Doctoral College is committed to embedding EDI in all of its policies and processes, and by widening access to postgraduate study to traditionally underrepresented groups, including BAME students and those from the most deprived communities in Scotland and the rest of the world. The Doctoral College wishes to attract the greatest diversity of applications to this scheme and will ensure that recruitment processes are robust and unbiased. Award Each scholarship covers the University tuition fee as well as a stipend equivalent to the UKRI stipend rate (for 2024/25 this is currently £19,237), subject to satisfactory progress, the scholarships are awarded for between three and four years as agreed by the School/Deanery (or pro-rata for part time). Eligibility The awards are open to UK and overseas students applying to start their first year of study for an on-campus research degree in 2025-2026. Applicants must have already applied for admission to a full-time or part-time on campus PhD research programme of study at the University. We encourage applicants who wish to apply for this scholarship to make contact with their academic school regarding any admission deadlines. Please check the Entry Requirements for your proposed programme of study for details of other acceptable English language qualifications. You may apply for the scholarship prior to obtaining the necessary English language test results but the results should be uploaded as soon as possible. These awards cannot be held concurrently with fully-funded scholarships but can be held with partially-funded scholarships and will be reduced pro-rata. Criteria Applicants must be of outstanding academic merit and research potential. Candidates must have, or expect to obtain, a UK first class or 2:1 honours degree at undergraduate level or the international equivalent. Other factors such as financial status, nationality and the proposed field of study are not taken into account.
