Fantastic to learn that the Leverhulme Trust is going to fund masters and PhD studentships for under-represented students to increase access to research careers. Bravo! 👏
We're losing too many excellent undergraduate students from research in the UK because they can't afford to complete masters courses now often required for admission to PhD studies.
(With a 2.i and no access to funds for a masters I would be unlikely to get on a PhD scheme now!)
