Research bursaries
Many of the Schools within the University may offer their own bursaries for research students, either on a fees-only basis or with a tax-free maintenance allowance. In general, only Home / EU fees are offered and international (non-EU) students would be required to pay the difference between international (non-EU) and home / EU fees. Please contact the relevant academic School for details.
Self-funded projects
A number of research projects are now available in the School of Animal, Rural and Environmental Sciences and the School of Science and Technology for Home / EU and international (non-EU) students willing to self-fund. See the full list of project titles.

International (non-EU) applicants often find funding from their own government or employer.
