Specified use
This programme is open to across all research areas, and will be of interest to students of the highest calibre who are keen to undertake a research project in Manchester and Singapore as part of the A*STAR Research Attachment Programme (ARAP).
We are only able to offer a limited number of studentships to applicants outside the UK, therefore, full studentships will only be awarded to exceptional quality candidates due to the competitive nature of this scheme.
The programme is open to all non-Singaporean applicants (home and overseas). To ensure the diversity of students studying at A*STAR institutions, A*STAR may apply stricter criteria to certain nationalities that may be over-represented in Singapore. As part of the offer/nomination process, The University of Manchester will select the most outstanding candidates for this programme.
