Dear Colleagues
Please see message below regarding ORSAS award scheme operated by my
University AND most other quality research lead universities in the UK. It
is an excellent source of funding for EXCELLENT students who would like to
carry out PhD studies in the UK. e.g. One of our graduate students is
currently funded to carry out her PhD studies on marine turtles in the
Cayman Islands. Follow the link below or search for ORSAS links on the
websites of other research institutions in the UK for further information.
NB It is only for non-EU students and is very much based on academic
credentials.
With kind regards
Brendan
