What you need
to apply

  • Acceptance from a UK university with UKVI-approved sponsor status
  • Confirmation of Research Place (CRP) or CAS
  • Proof of funding (stipend, scholarship or personal funds)
  • Research proposal approved by supervisor
  • English proficiency proof
  • Valid passport
  • PhD students use the same visa category as taught students in the UK
  • ATAS (Academic Technology Approval Scheme) certificate required for certain research subjects
  • Many PhD positions come with fully funded stipends covering fees and living costs
  • You must identify a supervisor before applying — the university won't issue CAS without one
Pro Tip

Secure your supervisor before anything else. Without a confirmed supervisor, no UK PhD admission is possible. We help you identify research groups aligned with your profile.
