Commonwealth PhD Scholarships are for candidates from high income countries for full-time doctoral study at a UK university.
Funded by the UK Department for Education (DfE), Commonwealth PhD Scholarships enable talented and motivated individuals to gain the knowledge and skills required for sustainable development, and are aimed at those who could not otherwise afford to study in the UK.
These scholarships are offered under six themes:
- Science and technology for development
- Strengthening health systems and capacity
- Promoting global prosperity
- Strengthening global peace, security and governance
- Strengthening resilience and response to crises
- Access, inclusion and opportunity
A date for when the next round of applications for Commonwealth PhD Scholarships (for high income countries) open is yet to be confirmed. Please keep checking this page as it will be updated as soon as information is available.
