What do studentships cover?
A studentship is an award which pays some or all of your fees and a maintenance stipend to cover your living expenses. It normally also covers additional costs such as any laboratory bench fees. However it will not cover any charges for late submission of a thesis (continuation fees) or resubmission of a thesis (reassessment fees).
Some offers of a place on a research degree at UEA will also include an offer of a funded studentship. Other offers will only be for the opportunity to register as a student, and will not include any funding support.
Please read the current Terms and Conditions for UEA Postgraduate Research Studentships.
