A university has launched “sanctuary scholarships” for doctoral students whose studies have been affected by conflict, including the war in Ukraine.
The pilot programme will enable students to study in Edinburgh, make short visits to the city, or receive support and mentoring to continue their research studies in their own country.
The scheme was created in response to the war in Ukraine, but is open to any international applicant affected by armed conflict.
Students researching engineering, life sciences, physical sciences, medicine and veterinary subjects are eligible to apply for the University of Edinburgh Sanctuary Scholarships.
