UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) Studentship Eligibility

All Home and International students are eligible to apply for UKRI funding, which will cover the full stipend and Home tuition fees. The international portion of the tuition fee cannot be funded by the UKRI grant, but will be covered for successful applicants by the University of Strathclyde.

UKRI have stipulated that a maximum percentage (30%) of students recruited each year against individual training grants can be International. The final funding decisions will be made by the SGSSS and ESRC.

To be classed as a Home student for fee purposes, applicants must meet the following criteria:

•

Be a UK national (meeting residency requirements), or

•

Have settled status, or

•

Have pre-settled status (meeting residency requirements), or

•

Have indefinite leave to remain or enter.

The residency requirements are based on the

Normally, to be eligible for Home fees, a student must have no restrictions on how long they can stay in the UK and have been ordinarily resident in the UK for at least 3 years prior to the start of the studentship (with some further constraint regarding residence for education).

  If a student does not meet the criteria above, they will be classed as an International student.
