University of Warwick Opens Applications for Fully Funded Chancellor’s International Scholarships 2026–27 in the UK

The Warwick Chancellor’s International Scholarships 2026–27 present an outstanding opportunity for international and EU students seeking to pursue fully funded PhD programs in the United Kingdom. Offered by the University of Warwick, these scholarships are designed to support high-achieving postgraduate researchers from around the world who demonstrate exceptional academic performance and research potential. For the 2026–27 academic year, the university has allocated approximately £5 million to fund up to 42 PhD scholarships, reinforcing its commitment to academic excellence and global research collaboration.

These fully funded PhD scholarships in the UK provide complete coverage of international tuition fees, a maintenance stipend paid for up to 3.5 years based on current UKRI rates, and a Research, Training and Supporting Grant (RTSG) of £5,000 to cover additional research-related expenses. The financial support offered through the Warwick Chancellor’s Scholarships allows scholars to focus entirely on their research without the burden of tuition or living costs.

Applicants must either be newly applying for a PhD program at the University of Warwick starting in October 2026 or already enrolled in the first year of their PhD program at Warwick, provided they are within the first 12 months of study. Candidates must be assessed as having overseas fee status, and there are no restrictions based on nationality or field of study. These scholarships are highly competitive and cannot be deferred to a future academic year.

All interested candidates are required to submit both a course application and a separate scholarship application. The course application must be completed by 8 December 2025, while the scholarship application deadline is 11 December 2025. Applicants are strongly encouraged to begin the process early, as completing both applications requires time for preparing documents such as references, research proposals, and academic transcripts.

Securing the Warwick Chancellor’s International Scholarship not only provides financial support but also offers a chance to join a prestigious academic environment known for world-class research. Scholarship recipients become part of a diverse and vibrant international academic community, contributing to innovative research across various disciplines. This opportunity supports long-term career development while offering the chance to live and study in the UK, one of the world’s leading destinations for higher education.
