资助条件

来源与核实信息

Fresh official recruitment evidence reviewed on 26 October 2026. Specific project identity, current application window, research scope, eligibility, funding limitations and application route reviewed together. Funding competition does not guarantee an award for every advertised project.

仍需留意

Funding is competitive; shortlisted candidates may be asked to select another project if their choice is unavailable. Visa and healthcare-surcharge costs must be met by the student (the call estimates about £3,600; verify current costs). The FAQ retains an older October 2026 reference for English-document timing, while the active application page and Birmingham call explicitly establish October 2027 entry.
