UK Research and Innovation Scholarship

Explore UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) scholarship and funding opportunities for postgraduate research. UKRI funding is generally provided through research councils, universities, doctoral training partnerships, and other approved providers, rather than as one universal scholarship with identical terms. Awards may support doctoral study and can include a stipend and tuition fee contribution, but funding levels, duration, and eligible costs depend on the specific scheme and provider. International applicants should check each opportunity carefully, as eligibility rules and the number of awards available to students from outside the UK can vary.

Use the opportunities listed on this page to find relevant UKRI-funded programmes and review their current requirements. Before applying, confirm that your subject and research proposal fit the scheme, check academic and residency criteria, and note the provider’s deadline and application process. Some applicants apply through a university or training partnership rather than directly to UKRI. Required documents may include academic records, a research proposal, references, and evidence of English-language ability. Funding calls and conditions can change, so rely on the official UKRI, research council, and university pages for the latest details. UKRI funding is primarily associated with postgraduate research, so undergraduate students should also explore other scholarship options.
