Scholarships are open to graduates from around the world, they are awarded to candidates on the grounds of outstanding academic merit, and continuing support will be subject to satisfactory completion of course work.

We do however encourage students to contribute to departmental teaching because it is in their own interest to acquire good teaching skills.
