How do i fund my Research?

International Students

You will normally need to secure your own sponsorship for your research degree study. Occasionally we advertise funded projects that include tuition fees at the overseas rate, but this is quite unusual.

If you have not already secured sponsorship, we recommend that you visit your Local Education Authority to find out what opportunities for funding exist in your country.  Other than that, the British Council is a good place to start.

The University of Leeds does have some competition scholarships for students with exceptionally outstanding academic track records. These are very tough to secure.

The University of Leeds also has a partnership agreement with the China Scholarships Council (CSC) for PhD scholarships.

Full details of the University scholarships are at http://scholarships.leeds.ac.uk
