¹Ï×ÓTV

Every year ¹Ï×ÓTV offers a number of PhD scholarships. Funding covers tuition fees and a stipend to cover living expenses. In most cases, applying for a scholarship is a bit like applying for a job: opportunities are advertised and you need to make a case for why you are the best candidate for the position when you apply. In many cases, the research project you will undertake is already agreed and a supervisory team appointed, and these details will be included in the scholarships advert.
