International students will be eligible for all UKRI-funded postgraduate studentships for the start of the 2022/23 academic year. The award will cover a stipend to support living costs (£17,609 for 2021/22) and tuition fees at the international rate (with funding provided by Goldsmiths and the UKRI).
