Dear all,
I am reaching the end of my 4 year integrated masters degree in Physics at Imperial College London. I expect to graduate with a low to medium first class and have taken theoretical modules throughout. I am interested in theoretical physics and quantum optics and want to do a PhD but I am discouraged by the lack of funding opportunities. Some searches I have done show that only home/EU students get funding and international students get next to nothing. All the PhD students I have met at Imperial are from Europe which is further discouraging. I would apply for scholarships but these are undoubtedly very competitive and I am unsure whether I can get them with my grades. Could anyone perhaps an international student doing a PhD in the UK tell me if what I am talking about is true and share their experiences over the matter?
Thanks
