Section 2: Eligibility

IMPORTANT: Please refer to the UKRI Full Eligibility Criteria alongside the information provided below. If you have any queries about your eligibility for a specific project please get in touch with Nikki Flook (n.flook@lancaster.ac.uk).

Home students

Fully-funded studentships are available for Home students. To be classed as a Home student, candidates must meet the following criteria:

• Be a UK National (meeting residency requirements), or

• Have settled status, or

• Have pre-settled status (meeting residency requirement) or,

• Have indefinite leave to remain or enter

International students

If you do not meet the above criteria, you will be classed as an International student. International students are eligible to apply for all Envision funded studentships.

Envision DTP is open to international applicants as per UKRI guidance, and these may only be available through some of our partners. There is a limited number of international PGRs allowable in the Envision programme under UKRI guidance (maximum 30% of intake). As a result of the cap, places cannot be guaranteed to any/all international applicants. Successful international PGRs would not be expected to make up the difference in fee themselves, but that other sources of funding would be sought for that.

Are you a Home or International student?

Referees

Your CV should contain two referees, including their address, email and telephone number. Envision prefers referees that can comment on your academic record and potential for research at postgraduate level rather than those who will provide character references. This normally means that your referees should be members of academic staff who knew you at your present/previous university, perhaps a dissertation supervisor. It is helpful if your referees have been briefed by you on the project you are applying for. It is Envision policy to take up references of all candidates prior to making them an offer of a studentship, so please use referees that you are happy for us to contact.
