In some cases, a lower qualification and sufficient relevant experience may be considered. **How will you be selected?** Your application will be assessed based on your merit, the quality of your study plan, and the potential impact of your studies on the development of your home country. A strong application will demonstrate your academic ability, research skills, and potential to contribute positively to your community. **Don't miss the deadline!** The application deadline is 31 March 2026 (16:00 BST), so make sure to submit your application on time.
