Applicable programmes
Benefits
Full tuition fees at overseas rate, living stipend, a return airfare from China to the UK, medical insurance and a one-off reimbursement for UK visa costs.
Eligibility
- Have submitted an application to study PhD (full-time, September entry only) at one of their UK campuses before you submit your application for this scholarship.
- Have a strong academic background and excellent research skills.
- Be a citizen of the People’s Republic of China at the time of application. Unfortunately, applicants from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan are ineligible.
- Be a permanent resident of the People’s Republic of China at the time of application. Chinese citizens working abroad are therefore ineligible. Chinese students currently studying overseas, however, are eligible.
- Satisfy the selection criteria relating to current study and employment as set out by the CSC on their website.
- Agree to return to China for two years upon completion of their studies and/or research at Kent. Some exceptions apply (for example if the student is offered a postdoctoral position at Kent, they are allowed to postpone their return to China).
