Awards from the China Scholarship Council and the University of Leeds are limited to 20. International fee-paying students who are citizens of the People’s Republic of China may apply for scholarships to study at the University of Leeds in any of its academic departments. This three-year, full-time research scholarship comes with a generous funding package. International tuition is paid in full by the University of Leeds, and living expenses, transportation, and travel authorizations are covered by the China Scholarship Council.

Wednesday, January 4, 2023, at 17:00 (UK time) is the application deadline. If you’re interested in applying, you can do so with either your own research topic (choose the Research Area below) or one of the predefined projects available through the links below.

Students who would otherwise be required to pay the full international fee rate are eligible to apply for these prizes.

  • At the time of application, applicants must be citizens of the People’s Republic of China; however, Chinese students studying abroad may also be able to apply, depending on the policies of the China Scholarship Council (CSC).
  • All applicants must commit to living in China after completing their PhD research degree at the University of Leeds;
  • To apply for a scholarship from the China Scholarship Council (CSC), interested parties must fill out the CSC Application Form and the CSC Employer Reference Form, both of which can be accessed at http://www.csc.edu.cn. (the application time for the CSC maintenance award is in March/April), ensuring that the appropriate Scholarship scheme has been selected – CSC-Leeds Joint Programme Channel (not the Individual Channel), as there are multiple alternative schemes;
  • Successful applicants are often in the top 5 percent of their MSc/MA and BSc/BA cohorts and have won accolades at the national or international level, while applicants at the undergraduate level are expected to earn a First Degree comparable to at least a UK First Class Honours degree. Applicants should have a relevant First Degree or be in their final year of study at the time of application.

 

About the Scholarship Sponsor:

The University of Leeds is widely regarded as one of the best educational institutions in the United Kingdom. Approximately 39,000 students are enrolled, with 9,000 of those being international students from more than 170 countries. Since its inception in 1904, it has developed into one of the nation’s top educational institutions. Based on the 2019 rankings of Times Higher Education, the University of Leeds is one of the top 40 most international universities in the world. When it comes to international students, the University of Leeds has a long history of welcoming students from all around the world. About 270,000 people all throughout the world are alumni of Leeds University. More than 190 nationalities are represented among these alums. There are at least six Nobel laureates among these alumni. According to the 2018 Times Higher Education Student Experience Survey, the University of Leeds is one of the top 10 universities in the UK in terms of graduate recruiters’ attention, and it is ranked third in the country for student experience. As a result, the University of Leeds has become a popular option for Indian students considering further education in the United Kingdom (The Graduate Market in 2019, High Fliers Research).

Leeds University is one of the finest universities in the world, and for good reason: it is ranked in the top 100 by QS World University Rankings, 2020 and is a member of the prestigious Russell Group. Leeds consistently places in the top 10 worldwide in these two areas. No need to wait until the first day of class to get started learning from brilliant, motivating lecturers who are also at the forefront of their industries. Some of your professors probably wrote the books you’ll be using in class. We are able to invest in cutting-edge facilities and recruit faculty members who are also conducting ground-breaking research thanks to the high caliber of our researchers and the financing that comes with them. Particularly so now that we have the means to conduct detailed research and

 

With over 300 undergraduate majors and 200 taught master’s and doctoral programs across our seven faculties, Leeds is widely regarded as one of the UK’s universities with one of the most extensive selections of opportunities to pursue academic interests. Leeds, the county seat of West Yorkshire, is situated roughly in the geographic center of the United Kingdom. The multicultural heart of the city is about ten minutes away on foot from the university. Leeds has a significant presence not just in the United Kingdom but also in the rest of the globe as a result of its proximity to major motorways, trains, and national and international airports. It’s the third-largest city in the United Kingdom and right in the center of some of the most beautiful, easily accessible countryside in the country. Everything a city of its size and prominence would be expected to have is right here. As the United Kingdom’s second-largest financial center (after London), Leeds is a great city for students to call home. Leeds’ central business district made The Sunday Times’ 2019 list of the best places to live in the United Kingdom.

 

The University of Leeds offers a wide range of residential options for its international students, including both catered and self-catered halls. Many consider the university to have the finest academic and athletic facilities in the UK. Institutions like these include lecture halls, gymnasiums, and laboratories. The Leeds University Union is widely regarded as one of the best and most active student unions in the UK and has received numerous awards in recognition of its achievements over the years. It should be simple to get involved on campus, as there are over 300 student-run groups and organizations to choose from. Each of these organizations is directed by a different student club.

The main campus of the University of Leeds covers 98 acres, but is still only one mile from the city center. Students at Leeds University come from all over the world, hailing from more than 170 different countries. There are state-of-the-art lecture halls and labs, four libraries, a pool and fitness center named “The Edge,” and a sophisticated performance space called “stage@leeds” at this university.
