AberDoc Scholarship
AberDoc Scholarships are part of a prestigious fund for Research Postgraduates.
These awards are tailored to enable students to develop the necessary skills required to meet their career choices and offer a breadth of development opportunities to enhance their research, teaching and transferable skills.
Those awarded an AberDoc Scholarship will receive a grant for up to three years which will cover their tuition fees (up to the UK (Home) rate of £4,786 per annum*). A maintenance allowance of approximately £19,237 per annum* and access to a travel and conference fund (max. £1,000 per annum*) will also be provided. Scholarships commence in September 2025.
EU and International students have to cover the difference between UK tuition fees and the EU/international tuition fees from their scholarship. However, there will be 3 additional President Scholarships, which cover this difference in tuition fees. These will be awarded to the three highest ranked EU/international candidates in the AberDoc competition.
