HetSys Scholarships

For the 2023/24 academic year, UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) funding is open to both UK and International research students as detailed on the UKRI website. The Warwick Doctoral College has a comprehensive guide on UKRI funding for students

Awards for both UK residents and international applicants pay a stipend to cover maintenance as well as paying the university fees and providing a research training support grant. The stipend is at the standard UKRI rate (for 2022/23 that is £17,668 per annum).

UKCISA provides information on tuition fees to help you assess your fee status.

We normally expect to have allocated studentships by late Spring for the course starting in October.

• UK Applicants: HetSys provides funding for the four-year programme to UK students.
• International Applicants: We expect a small number of fully funded international places to be available on a competitive basis to exceptional students of any citizenship. Applications must be submitted by 25 January 2023, and must include responses to the following questions within the personal statement:
  • Describe your academic history, skills, expertise, professional experience and awards or publications and how these prepare you for the HetSys training programme (300 words maximum).
  • Describe how your skills and interests match with your chosen PhD project or projects. You might want to consider the significance of the project and any prior engagement with relevant topics (300 words maximum).
