ESRC studentships
The
University was recently successful in being selected by the UK's
Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) as one of only 21 Doctoral
Training Centres (DTCs) accredited nationally. New fully funded PhD
studentships are available in areas across the social sciences and to
support interdisciplinary projects across respective schools.
Two funding routes are available: 3 year PhD and 4 year MA + PhD (1+3) awards.
These
are highly competitive and applications must be supported by a research
proposal. Applications for full time or part time study are welcome.
Please note: ESRC
studentship awards cover tuition fees for Home/EU candidates who
satisfy the ESRC's eligibility requirements based on residency in the UK
for 3 years up to the start of the PhD. Candidates classed as
'International' or 'Overseas' for fees purposes will not be considered.
Deadline date: 23 March 2011
School of Education Studentships
The
School of Education is also offering additional PhD studentship awards
to outstanding scholars to conduct research in key educational areas.
Funding: 3 year PhD Awards
Please note: Students
classed for fee purposes as overseas nationals may apply for School of
Education studentships, but will only qualify for the stipend and
payment of fees at the home rate (due to funding restriction). Overseas
students need to indicate in their application how the balance of the
international fee will be paid (e.g. other sponsors, self-financing).
