Universities UK no longer administers the Overseas Research Students Award Scheme (ORSAS) and the central ORSAS office has now closed. The higher education institutions will now take on the role of selecting their ORSAS award holders and administering individual awards.
Current Award Holders
If you are a current award holder please liaise directly with the ORSAS officer (based in the Registry/ Graduate /International offices) in the institution where you have taken up or will take up your award. A list of contacts is provided on the new website www.orsas.ac.uk
General Enquiries

Higher Education Institutions

Guidelines for the institutions and the main contacts for each of the four funding bodies can be found on the new website www.orsas.ac.uk.
