Eligibility
Applicants are required to possess an undergraduate degree with at least a 2.1 classification (or a Non-UK equivalent as defined by Swansea University) in Engineering or a closely related science discipline. Eligibility for this scholarship extends to those who are qualified to pay UK tuition fees. However, if you are an international student without a UK degree, you’re encouraged to review our entry requirements comparison chart to see country-specific qualifications. We also invite applications from individuals with degrees in computational science or mathematics. It’s important to be aware that proof of English Language proficiency may be necessary.
For English proficiency, the requirements are an IELTS score of 6.5 overall, with no component lower than 5.5, or an equivalent recognized by Swansea University. You can find comprehensive information about our English Language policy, including details about the validity period for certificates, on our website.
The scholarship welcomes applicants of any nationality.
EPSRC ICASE studentships are available to both home and international students. Our cohort can include up to 30% international students; once this cap is reached, we will no longer be able to extend offers to international candidates. We continue to accept applications from international students, who will not incur additional fees beyond the UK tuition rate. Applicants should meet the eligibility criteria set by the UKRI.
Regarding ATAS, some applicants will be required to procure ATAS clearance. You can find more information about eligibility for the ATAS scheme on the UK Government website.
It’s crucial to understand that obtaining ATAS clearance is not a prerequisite during the application stage for the scholarship. Successful candidates will receive guidance on how to apply for ATAS clearance alongside their scholarship course offer when necessary.
