Scholarships

Undergraduate scholarships

The Faculty of Science offers a number of scholarships and bursaries in addition to those available to all students. We are fortunate in being able to attract some of the best students in the world to come to study science here at Bristol and our International Science Scholarships are intended to reward and encourage excellence in science.

We award ten scholarships each year to international undergraduate students following science degree programmes. These International Science Scholarships are worth £1000 per annum and are annually renewable subject to continued excellent performance.

Further details of financial help for prospective undergraduates are available from the Student Funding Office.

Please see also the University's information on fees and funding for undergraduates.

PhD scholarships

The Faculty of Science is pleased to be able to offer around 10 fully-funded PhD Scholarships to UK/EU and international applicants showing exceptional research potential.

These PhD Scholarships are for 3.5 or 4 years and are funded from University funds at the same level as Research Council (EPSRC, NERC, BBSRC, ESRC) studentships. The funding includes:

  • full fees
  • full stipend at Research Council level (£13,590 per year in 2012/13)
  • research costs at the Research Council level appropriate to the discipline

For further information please refer to the School in which you wish to pursue your doctoral studies (see links to left). The application procedure will follow the standard procedure used by that School.

There will be two decision rounds during 2012/13. The approximate schedule is as follows.

Round 1

  • submission deadline: December 2012
  • decision: end-January 2013

Round 2

  • submission deadline: February 2013
  • decision: end-March 2013

Note that exact submission deadlines will be set by the School and may vary; it is essential that you refer to the relevant School.
