AHRC Studentships
are available only to UK and EU students.
To be eligible for
a full studentship award (fees plus maintenance stipend) a student must have
been ordinarily resident in the UK for at least three years prior to the start
of the course. British citizenship or holding a British passport in itself does
not satisfy the residential eligibility requirement. To be eligible for the
full award, EU Nationals must satisfy the UK residency requirement.
EU Nationals who do
not meet the residency requirement are eligible for a fees-only award, provided
that they have been ordinarily resident in the EU for at least three years
prior to the start of their proposed course.
