Global PhD Scholarship – St Andrews and Bonn – Neuroscience

Applicants must not already (i) hold a doctoral degree or (ii) be matriculated for a doctoral degree at either the University of St Andrews or the University of Bonn (or another institution).

The funding comprises a scholarship equivalent of a full-fees award and stipend for a period of up to 3.5 years. It is expected that the student will spend half of the scholarship term at the University of St Andrews and half at the University of Bonn:

• For the period spent at the University of St Andrews, the scholarship will comprise a full fees award and a stipend paid at the current UK Research Council rate (£15,609 each year in 2021–2022)
• For the period spent at the University of Bonn, the scholarship will comprise a monthly maintenance grant of €1,500. The University of Bonn does not charge any tuition fees, but students must pay a so-called social contribution once per semester (currently €315 per semester).
