Hi all. I am a Spanish student with a master degree already finished. I would like to start a PhD in mathematics in the UK. Consider that I get admitted in a UK university but without any scholarship (which is very likely). Do I have any option to apply for some funding separately?

I have went through the findaphd support pages (https://www.findaphd.com/funding/guides/phd-funding-guide.aspx and https://www.findaphd.com/advice/blog/4202/international-phd-funding-your-2020-calendar). They are really nice, but I did not found any funding applicable for an Spanish student in mathematical or physical sciences :(

Did I miss something? Is there any other opportunity that is not listed there?

Thanks a lot for your help. This forum is super useful :)

Hi Txordi,

The best option is probably to keep an eye out for funded projects in your field. They're added to FindAPhD all the time (yep, even now). You could also try looking at specific university scholarships - this will take some time, but our guide might help get you started (it links to each UK university's funding pages):

As an EU student you'll also be eligible for a UK doctoral loan next year (remains to be seen whether this eligibility is extended, but rest assured we'll update as soon as we know).


Hope his helps a bit,

Mark
