The School of Psychology offers some or all of the following awards to suitably qualified applicants who begin a programme of research at the University of St Andrews:


• Up to three Doctoral Scholarships equivalent to the value of the home feewaived for a maximum of three years (or the part-time equivalent) plus maintenance costs. These awards are only available to students who have already been accepted for a place and who match the eligibility criteria set out on ourweb pages.


Applicants for awards must followthe procedures guidelines and deadline timetable set out on theweb pages (www.st-andrews.ac.uk/admissions/pg/financialinformation).


The School applies annually to the various UK research councils for research studentships. In thiswaywe have obtained funds for studentships from the MRC, BBSRC, ESRC and EPSRC. This funding is offered to the most promising candidates in any given year. In addition, ‘earmarked’ studentships are often awarded to the School, linked to particular research projects and/or particular supervisors. In recent yearswe have been able to offer at least five awards of different kinds each year. Eligibility for research council studentships is restricted to EU applicants. Only UK citizens are eligible to receive the full maintenance grant. Non-UK students, however, are generally eligible for University or School-funded scholarships. Possible sources of funding include:


1) UK research council studentships, as noted above. 2) The University of St Andrews itself awards a small number of research scholarships to outstanding candidates. These are open to all students. If you are interested in applying for such support,wewould recommend that you apply early.


3) The Carnegie Trust offer postgraduate scholarships. A prerequisite is a First Class Honours degree from a Scottish university.


You should also contact the Postgraduate Admissions Officer in the School. The closing dates will be listed on the School’sweb pages. St Andrews has various scholarship opportunities for prospective St Andrews postgraduate students.


Our‘Recent Graduate Discount’is designed to recognise the loyalty of current StAndrews students and very recent St Andrews alumni when they apply for postgraduate courses here. Details of all our scholarship opportunities and initiatives can be found atwww.st-andrews.ac.uk/scholarships
