UCD and the China Scholarship Council (CSC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding in 2007, renewed in 2011, for the purposes of providing high quality research training to qualified Chinese students from Chinese universities/research institutions.
This is an exciting opportunity for Chinese students to benefit from studying in one of Europe’s leading research-driven universities.
UCD supports applications for:
- the UCD CSC Scholarship Scheme - 4 year PhD student scholarships
