University of Leeds

Leeds funds international students mainly through faculty scholarships and entry-point awards rather than one university-wide pot. The foundation year excellence scholarships on this page are typical of how Leeds works: they are attached to a specific route into the university and are applied for as part of that admission. The named memorial and donor scholarships below follow their own rules, and several, such as the business school excellence awards, are restricted to UK students, so the eligibility line decides whether an award is yours.

Doctoral funding at Leeds runs through the UK research councils and university studentships, awarded by faculties to projects and candidates. A funded PhD at Leeds usually follows from a funded project or a supervisor with a studentship rather than an open competition, and the humanities and social science faculties also run their own doctoral awards.

Leeds restates its scholarship rounds every year, and the deadline on a card is the current one for that cycle. Each official link leads to the Leeds page that owns the award, which is where you confirm whether international students are eligible and how the application actually works.
