Request Received: 3 October 2022
I have three questions based on the attached response to my Freedom of Information I have received.
(1) Can you please tell me if the 30% figure is new for International Students or remains the same as for previous years. Also
(2) will this 30% percentage be applied for the upcoming cohort and if there has been any policy to alter this this figure for future cohorts please.
And lastly (3) will this 30% still apply to AHRC and TECHN combined Masters and PhD Scholarships?
In my FOI (answer attached) it states 'Each DTP can use AHRC funds to fund a maximum of 30% of its awards to students classified as International.'
