International Postgraduate Funding

Introduction

Funding for international postgraduate students is fairly limited and students should ensure they have their funding in place before arriving at University. Competition for the funding detailed in this section is extremely strong and generally only students with a first class degree or very good 2:1 degree would be eligible to apply. Funding for taught Masters degrees is limited to the DfID scheme which is only open to students from Commonwealth developing countries coming to this University to study specific courses. PhD funding is more general in that there are no limitations placed on nationality or course, providing Bristol is able to offer supervision for the topic being researched. Please note that in order to be eligible to apply for any funding listed here students must first apply for, and be offered, a place. Information about applying for your chosen course of study can be gained from the postgraduate contact in the relevant Faculty.

Students are also advised to contact the British Council in their home country and also the Department they wish to study in at University, to see if they know of any additional funding available.

Students are advised to call into the Student Funding Office in cases of extreme financial difficulty, where there is a short delay in the transfer of funds.

The International Office has a Scholarship Search facility.
