Hi there,

you could try and find a studentship in your area at a UK institution. I think the chances of finding something aren't too bad in your sort of area. Studentships are usually advertised on each institution's website, so check out the Universities you're most interested in. Also, you can try findaphd.com for studentships.

The reseach councils usually only fund students who have been resident in the UK for at least three years prior to starting their PhD. However, as a EU student, you can still get funds to cover your tuition fees, but you'd have to pay for everything else from your own funds.

You could check if there's any scholarship opportunities from your home country, that's always worth exploring first.

Most Unis have some PhD scholarships available for international students, but you'd have to be quick because there is early closing dates for these. Also, your chances of getting such a scholarship depend heavily on your references and on how well you did in your previous studies.

Hope this helps a little,

xx
