CHASE: Consortium for Humanities and the Arts South-East England

UKRI has recently announced that it is changing its residential eligibility rules. Now, regardless of whether you are a "home" applicant or an "international" applicant, you can apply for a studentship. However, they are applying a cap on numbers, as only up to 30% of studentship awards can be made to international applicants. 

To be classed as a home student, you must meet the following criteria: 

• be a UK national (meeting residency requirements), or 
• have settled status, or
• have pre-settled status (meeting residency requirements), or
• have indefinite leave to remain or enter

If you do not meet the criteria above, you are classed as an international student. 

Further guidance on residential eligibility is provided in Annex B of the UKRI Training Grant Guidance.

Applicants will hold an undergraduate degree, and will normally have a Master’s degree, or be studying for one. However, CHASE also welcomes applications from candidates with sustained experience beyond their undergraduate degree level that is specifically relevant to their proposed research topic.

CHASE has produced an informative online application guidance.
