Phd Funding and residence eligibility

Hi!

I will be doing a master in the UK this year and I am planning on staying and doing a PhD. As an EU student, would I be able to get full funding (including living expenses) if I have not been resident in the UK for the past 3 years? are there any other funding possibilities?

Thanks!!

It depends on the funding body. I know mine is very picky about how long I have been a resident of the UK. You aren't out of options though! There are PhDs advertised now with funding available for EU/UK students.

Here is an example: http://www.findaphd.com/search/ProjectDetails.aspx?PJID=39662&LID=1231

Have a look through findaphd.com and see what the criteria is for PhDs you are interested in. Also, the websites for funding bodies usually have a section on eligibility.
