International Applicants and Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) PhD Studentships
Edge Hill University welcomes international applicants to its GTA studentship scheme. While the benefits to international applicants are the same as those available to UK applicants.
It is important to note that the GTA studentship does not include:
- Travel costs.
- Visa costs.
- Living costs.
- Any costs for dependants.
- Guarantee of obtaining an accommodation on Campus or in a private rental. The Graduate School can provide support, but you will need to arrange your own accommodation.
For further information or advice on how to apply for a Visa, visitors and dependants, your rights and responsibilities while in the UK, please visit our dedicated visa webpage or email the Visa Team directly.
Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS)
Please be advised that for International applicants some research areas require an ATAS background check. More information can be found on the Gov.uk website. This is not required at the point of application. If you need an ATAS background check, you will be advised as soon as possible after acceptance, and it is your responsibility to obtain one.
If an ATAS is needed this is a necessity with regards to your VISA and waiting time can be lengthy, so we trust successful applicants to manage the application for this when they have been made an offer. If applying as an international student, it is likely applying for ATAS will form part of the process and The Graduate School are not responsible for the processing of this.
