Leave a comment

Application Deadline: 23:59 (GMT) on Thursday, 29th May 2025. 

LOCATION: United Kingdom

The University of Edinburgh is delighted to offer the Glenmore Postgraduate Scholarships. Four scholarships are available for eligible postgraduate programmes offered by the University in the 2025-2026 academic session.

ELIGIBILITY:

The scholarships will be awarded to applicants who are accepted for admission in the 2025-2026 academic year on one of the listed eligible Human Medical programmes. The Glenmore Medical Postgraduate Scholarship would particularly welcome applications from students from Africa. 

Applicants should already have been offered a place at the University of Edinburgh and should have firmly accepted that offer or be intending to do so. Preference will be given to those who have an unconditional offer at time of the scholarship application deadline.

Applicants are encouraged to complete their application including all required supporting documentation early, in order to facilitate their application being fully processed by the Admissions department ahead of the scholarship application deadline.

It is envisioned that successful applicants, on completion of their studies, will continue to work in countries that will benefit most from their furthered medical education. Priority will be given to those who have not had the opportunity to study at Masters level previously.

Applicants must be currently domiciled in one of the eligible countries listed below and as derived from the DAC List of ODA Recipients 2025-2026. Please note the eligible countries are not a 1:1 match to the full DAC list. Rather, the DAC list has been used as an information source to help define the set of eligible countries.

BENEFIT:

The scholarship will cover full tuition fees for the duration of the programme of study.

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: 17:00 on Friday, 25 April, 2025

LOCATION: United Kingdom

The Graduate School is pleased to announce the call for two fully-funded Migrant Futures Doctoral Studentships that are part of a major grant awarded to Goldsmiths by Oak Foundation to establish a new Migrant Futures Institute (hereafter MFI) at Goldsmiths. Migrant Futures Doctoral Studentships are central to the MFI’s vision to advance innovative research and training in the field of migration studies and foreground migrant intellectual lives and creative endeavours.

ELIGIBILITY:

One of the two awards for entry 2025-26 will be open to eligible home applicants who identify as migrants or refugees and from racialised ethnic minority backgrounds in any field of research and practice for which supervision is available at Goldsmiths, University of London.   To be clear, applicants considered for this award need not be working on a migration related topic, but they should be able to describe how their work will enhance their own economic, creative and intellectual lives and that of others.   

The second of these two awards will be open to all eligible home or international applicants – irrespective of background and experience – whose proposed PhD is focused on a topic related to migration, broadly conceived, including in relation to processes of race and racialisation.  Proposals must be informed by the co-production of knowledge with people and groups from migrant and refugee backgrounds, and demonstrate potential for social and cultural impact. 

Migrant Futures Doctoral Studentship holders will, upon award, be designated as Fellows of the Migrant Futures Institute and will be expected to contribute to developing and enhancing the research culture of the institute through their research, creative practice and participation in MFI activities and events.  Successful applicants from racialised backgrounds will also be invited to participate in the activities of Generation Delta Goldsmiths.

Applicants must be new or continuing doctoral students who will not have completed more than 1 year of full-time or 2 years of part-time registration by the start of the 2025-26 academic year.

Migrant Futures Doctoral Studentships are open to home and international applicants: at least one award will be made to a home applicant with migrant or refugee experiences and from a racialised ethnic minority background.

Applications will be made through the Goldsmiths Graduate School via Gecko form.

To access the recording of the applicant information webinar held on Monday, 3 March 2025, please follow this link.

They cover tuition fees and an annual stipend at the yearly UKRI rate (the full-time UKRI rate for 2025/26 is £22,780), together with a small annual research training and support fund.
