Countries covered
PhD study in the United Kingdom, restricted to eligible nationals or protected-status categories tied to a closed list of eligible Commonwealth countries, with permanent residence required in one of those countries.. For a Francophone African reader, the useful point is not to assume broad regional access: you need to check your exact presence in the provided country list, then also verify the separate permanent residence condition. The academic threshold is at least a bachelor's degree equivalent to a 2:1, or a 2:2 combined with a relevant master's degree.
