For those students classed for fees purposes as overseas, the supervisor will determine the fee band payable based on the type of research project being undertaken. A single student living in Nottingham will need a minimum of £700 per month (£8,400 per year) to cover basic living expenses such as accommodation costs, heating, food, daily travel, books, equipment and other necessities. This figure is given as a guide only. The amount you actually spend will depend upon where you live and your personal life-style.

Funding

The University of Nottingham offers many competitive studentships. There are two University of Nottingham websites that you can search for details on funding. Firstly, The Graduate School website which advises on the major sources of funding. Secondly, the International Office website. You are encouraged to visit both of these websites for further information.

The closing dates for most of the University's scholarships are well before the start of the academic year. Applications cannot be considered after the closing dates. It is important to note that applicants for competitive university scholarships must first have applied and obtained an offer to study at Nottingham.
