Deadline: 16 June 2014
Leeds International Research Scholarships are available for high quality international students who will be commencing PhD research study from Session 2014-2015 for study in any Faculty at the University of Leeds.
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA – Please read this information carefully, as your application form will be automatically rejected if you do not meet ALL of the eligibility criteria listed below
Applicants MUST first submit a research degree study application form and be in receipt of a Student ID Number[1] to be eligible for a Leeds International Research Scholarship. Applications without a valid Student ID Number will be rejected. To apply for a place on a research degree programme, please visit: http://www.leeds.ac.uk/students/apply_research.htm
· These awards are only available to applicants who would be liable to pay academic fees at the full international fee rate;
· Applicants must normally hold a First Degree at undergraduate level equivalent to at least a UK First Class Honours degree and should be considered to be the ‘best of the best’ (eg, successful applicants are likely to be in the top 5% of their MSc/MA and BSC/BA cohorts and already in receipt of prizes at national or international level). Applicants should either have graduated with the appropriate First Degree or be in their final year of study. Applicants should contact the relevant School in which they intend to study for any further guidance as to whether they have achieved the equivalence of a UK First Class Honours degree or not.
· Applicants whose first language is not English must have already met the University’s English Language requirements by 16 June 2014. You should have a valid test result, which is no more than two years old by your official start date at the University of Leeds. Examples of an acceptable English Language Standard can be found at: http://www.leeds.ac.uk/rsa/international/english_lang_requirements/english_language.html Applicants who have recently been educated at degree level (undergraduate or postgraduate) in specific majority English language speaking countries[2] for a minimum of two years continuous study within the last two years, will be regarded as having fulfilled the University’s English language requirements. Some Schools require a standard of English higher than the University minimum.
· These awards are not open to individuals who have already been awarded a Doctoral degree or equivalent qualification;
· LIRS scholarships should not normally be held concurrently with other Scholarships which provide duplicate funding. Successful LIRS award holders may, if they are able to obtain additional funding, hold a bursary which pays travel/accommodation costs etc for UK/overseas fieldwork visits and attendance at conferences.
