Overseas Research Student Awards

The ORS Awards Scheme is a national scheme for international students from outside the European Union. The scheme is highly competitive, and awards are only made to students of exceptional calibre. Applications must be made through the University, either before the commencement of the research programme, or at the end of the first year. ORS awards are intended to cover the difference between overseas and home/EU student fees, and are typically worth around £4300 p.a. Applications must be supported by a student's main supervisor, and should not be submitted without prior consultation. Details are available from the Postgraduate Registry, and at:
