Looking for postgraduate funding is only one part of preparing for a Master’s or PhD. You also need a focused research interest, a feasible proposal, and a clear explanation of your preparation.
Our new Health Research & Graduate Funding Hub brings these steps together for students interested in public health and related health sciences.

A simple way to begin
Choose one program or funding route. Check its official eligibility rules. Then write a one-page concept note describing your question, proposed methods, and why the project fits that program. Use the guides to identify what you need to clarify next.
These resources provide an educational starting point. Scholarship terms and deadlines change, so verify the current call on the awarding organization’s official website.
