King's Commonwealth Fellowship Programme — Doctoral Fellowships

The King's Commonwealth Fellowship Programme offers doctoral fellowships for academic staff from small island developing states to undertake a part-time PhD over six years with joint supervision by their home university and Cardiff University. Research is conducted primarily in the candidate's country of origin with opportunities for research visits to Cardiff. The award includes a research and mobility fund and financial support for up to six months of study at Cardiff.

Joint doctoral co-supervision; research and mobility funding up to £30,000; financial support for up to six months' research stay at Cardiff University.

Applicants must be academic staff at universities in small island developing states and propose a research topic aligned to one of the programme's four themes: climate resilience, health, education or engineering. Applicants must obtain endorsement from their home university for joint doctoral supervision.

Prepare a research dossier with home-university endorsement and required documents, consult Cardiff University's official pages for cycle openings, and submit the application online before the stated deadline.
