Information about the funding
King’s Overseas Research Studentships (KORS) were designed by King’s College London in 2009 to replace the Overseas Research Student Award Scheme (ORSAS) which was originally set up in 1979 by the Secretary of State for Education and Science. These awards offer international postgraduate students the opportunity to carry out a broad range of research at King’s College London.
The College will offer up to 15 fully funded awards to exceptional international students from any non-EU country to commence a full-time postgraduate research degree programme at King’s College London for the academic year 2012/13. These awards can be held in any subject area across the college.

Information about the application
SELECTION:
Marks will be given for the quality of applicants based on:
i) Evidence and strength of academic qualifications gained (minimum entry qualification is an undergraduate 2i and/or a higher degree), and where applicable, professional qualifications and/or relevant experience;
ii) Strength of the research proposal;
iii) Matching of the applicant’s interests with his/her potential (or current) supervisor
In view of the limited number of awards and the high standard of applications received, it is expected that the possession of or likely attainment of a first class or very good upper second class honours undergraduate degree (or equivalent) will be the minimum requirement.
Specified use
KORS awards provide funding to cover tuition fees at the full international/overseas fee rate and will also offer an annual stipend. The awards do not cover travel expenses, conference expenses, bench fees or thesis expenses. The award will be valid for the length of the postgraduate research programme, subject to satisfactory progress. Please note, however, that the funds do not cover students for the writing-up period.
