in the last publication we highlight the main differences between doctorates in the United Kingdom and the United States, highlighting the duration of the course, costs and the opportunity to balance studies with social life. Now that we've presented the advantages, we want to make the idea of studying in the land of the queen even more irresistible: we list 14 scholarships focused on doctoral studies, to apply until February 2019.
Benefits may be full category, subsistence to fees and/or living allowance. It is worth remembering, however, that most universities in the United Kingdom recommend or require in the list of requirements that the candidate already has a master's degree.
Check out the list below and stay tuned for deadlines:
