Please note that all Research Proposals/Statements must have been produced by you.
Self-funded – If you are applying for a research degree that would be funded by yourself (including those that may be part-funded by one of our Scholarships for overseas applicants), you should include a research proposal of no more than 1500 words, giving the name(s) of the research faculty member(s) working in your research area.
Visiting students – If you are registered for a degree at another university and wish to undertake some of your studies at the Earlham Institute as a visiting student, provide a summary of what research you will be doing with us. Applying through UEA to be a visiting student at the Earlham Institute provides full access to the University’s facilities and support, plus assistance with some types of visa.
