China Scholarship Council Awards (CSC)

We currently have no joint partnership with the China Scholarship Council however students are still able to apply via the institutional &personal channel. Please note that if a student is successful in obtaining a China Scholarship Council award the expectation is that the receiving institution (i.e. University of Edinburgh) will pay the tuition fees (waiver through the PhD Tuition Fee Contribution Scheme) and research costs (APCs). Any Chinese students considering applying for a CSC award should be encouraged to check with their potential supervisor and research centre whether or not funds will be available within the School/Deanery/Institute to cover the costs of supervising the student without receiving any tuition fees and funding any APCs as these are not available at either College or University level. If these funds are not available the student should be dissuaded from pursuing the application with the China Scholarship Council.

At time of issuing this we are still awaiting the webpage to be updated with a link to the application form and closing date.

The University of Edinburgh has been working for some time to embed equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in its activities and to widen participation (WP) for students from disadvantaged and underrepresented backgrounds. The Doctoral College is committed to embedding EDI in all of its policies and processes, and by widening access to postgraduate study to traditionally underrepresented groups, including BAME students and those from the most deprived communities in Scotland and the rest of the world. The Doctoral College wishes to attract the greatest diversity of applications to this scheme and will ensure that recruitment processes are robust and unbiased.
