rata if you have already started your PhD). Studentships are open to students who have already started their doctoral study but they must have at least 50% of the funded period of an AHRC award (usually 18 months full time) remaining at the time they start
their scholarship.<br>
<br>
International students are eligible to apply for studentships but will be expected to pay the difference between the home and international fee rate themselves (as the studentship will only cover fees at the home rate, plus the stipend). The 22/23 home fee
rate is £5,520 and the international fee rate is £14,110. Therefore, international students will be expected to pay the difference between these fee rates themselves – £8,590.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
