Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Award

G

I saw an advertisement for this scholarship and wanted to know the selection criteria for this award. Would it be a 1st class or a second with experience? Will a masters help? Appreciate your help.

The scheme is open to students from India, China, Hong Kong, South Africa, Brazil, Russia and the developing world. Students must hold a high-grade qualification, at least the equivalent of a UK first class honours degree. Further information can be found here http://www.rcuk.ac.uk/hodgkin/

Ann, Do you know if a Bsc 2.2 with Msc Distinction would qualify?

Hi Zum, I think it's up to the University but they are supposed to ensure that the student receiving the award is in the top 20% of students (in terms of academic excellence). See further info on eligibility here;

Try the EastChem studentships of Edinburgh and St Andrews if you are applying for chem PhD. they are open to international students and are easy to get.
