Scholarships
Information on postgraduate funding opportunities for UK and EU students, including a regularly-updated list of university studentships, can be found on our website at www.cardiff.ac.uk/postgraduate/pgfunding
Funding is highly competitive and we recommend planning and researching your funding options well in advance of commencing your studies. Also, in most cases, you will need to have a firm offer of a place to study on a postgraduate programme before you will be considered for an award. It is therefore important that you apply for your chosen postgraduate programme well in advance of the closing date for funding applications as set by the relevant funding body.
