Hi,
I am a currently looking for a funded PhD in UK after doing a one year M.Sc. in UK. I am a European citizen and currently back to my home country to apply for a PhD. I am very surprised that most European funded PhDs if not all are only available for students who lived in UK for over 3 year, which is kind of unfair. Is there a loop hole through which one can get a funding even though he is not a UK resident? The other choices which are available are highly competitive since they are open to students of all nationality.
Btw I am a graduated in the biomedical field, a looking for a PhD in microbiology and molecular biology.

Thanks for your help
