The University of Bristol has just announced new research scholarships as part of its Think Big scholarship scheme. The new Think Big for Researchers scheme is for international students studying a master’s by research degree.

Think Big about Research will include a scholarship towards your first year’s tuition fees as well as a place on the Think Big Development Programme.

For students starting in September 2026, there are 10 awards available: 5 awards of £13,000 for the first year of study and 5 awards of £6,500 for the first year of study. Please check the eligibility criteria carefully! You can apply if you have applied to any full-time master’s by research programme delivered in person at the University of Bristol and are classed as an overseas student for fee-paying purposes.

If you are interested to join the Faul Research Group and keen to apply for one of these scholarships, then please contact Prof. Faul by email. Please include two academic letters of references and a one-page CV with your email to be considered.
