Fees and funding
We offer School scholarships to cover some or all of the costs of studying at Edinburgh. You may also fund your studies yourself, or find an external sponsor.
Studentship application deadlines
Our main application deadline has passed, however we often have some individually funded projects which are still open to applicants, so please check our PhD Projects page.
Applicants with their own funding will be considered throughout the year.
Funded studentships available through the School
UK and other EU applicants
UK students can receive a full studentship award which will cover both tuition fees and living costs
Non-UK resident EU students are usually only eligible for the fee component of these awards. Successful applicants for funding may therefore only receive a partly-funded studentship.
All studentships are awarded competitively. Please indicate if you would like to be considered for a School of Biological Sciences studentship in your online application.
We award funding for approximately 20 PhD studentships per year to applicants from the UK and other EU countries. This includes studentships funded by:
- Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC)
- Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)
- Natural Environmental Research Council (NERC)
- Medical Research Council (MRC)
- Research charities such as the Wellcome Trust
Overseas (non-EU) applicants
A limited number of partly or fully-funded scholarships may be available through the School.
In particular we encourage exceptionally gifted overseas students to apply early for Edinburgh Global and Principal’s Career Development Scholarships and we can provide information on request for other scholarships for which you may be able to apply.
Many of our overseas students are self-funding or are funded by government scholarships or international charities.
Graduate and staff discount schemes
If you have graduated from the University of Edinburgh you may be eligible for a 10% discount on your fees.
If you are a member of staff at the University you may be eligible for a staff scholarship which will enable you to study for a research degree part time.
Tuition fees
The University Registry provides information on tuition fees and funding.
Cost of living
Budgeting for living costs is an important part of planning for funding your study.
All fully-funded studentships and scholarships awarded by the School include a stipend sufficient to meet normal living costs.
Partly-funded scholarships will not usually meet all of your living costs.
