Hi All,

Please see below.

For those who don’t know this is for students to come and spend a year of their PhD here at Strathclyde, whilst remaining registered at their home institution abroad.

They pay normal international fees for that year and count towards your PGR targets but their status is ‘non-graduating student’ i.e. they have a separate programme code (since they’re going to graduate from wherever they are primarily registered).

I’ve had a couple of Nigerian split-site scholars and they’re usually quite good. Got a paper out of each at least!

Note that you have to demonstrate that you have a link with the overseas institute and will maintain contact with their home supervisors during the year – but that’s pretty easy nowadays with zoom etc.

Don’t hesitate to ask if you need any advice.

Kind regards,

Christine
