Commonwealth PhD Scholarships 2023/2023 | Fully Funded for Doctoral Study in the UK
The Commonwealth PhD Scholarships are awarded to candidates from the Commonwealth’s least developed and fragile states for full-time doctoral study at a UK university.
Commonwealth PhD scholarships, which are funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), contribute to the development needs of Commonwealth countries by funding research with a developmental impact. They also enhance individual teaching and research capacity, leading to an increase in institutional capacity in academic and other sectors in Commonwealth countries, contribute to UK higher education and research by attracting high-calibre international candidates and fostering links and collaboration, and are intended for those who would otherwise be unable to afford to study in the UK.
