How to Apply
Candidates eligible for the funding by the Saudi sponsorships’ bodies must:
- Contact a potential supervisor at UEA and indicate your interest in applying for PhD studies under a Saudi sponsorship body scholarship .
- Apply to UEA by the international self-funded PGR application deadline and mention your intention to apply for a Saudi sponsorship body scholarship for 2024-2025 intake. This final deadline is four months before the intake date (e.g. 31 May 2025 for 1 October 2025 start). However, we recommend submitting your application as soon as possible to allow sufficient time for application processing and immigration processes, particularly if you intend to apply to a discipline which will need ATAS clearance.
- Information and advice on writing your proposal can be found on our 'how to apply' page.
- Meet UEA eligibility requirements for the proposed programme and visa requirements for study in the UK. Further information can be found on our dedicated webpage.
