College of Humanities and Social Science Research Awards (PhD)

The College Research Student Awards scheme is designed to attract high quality students applying for PhD research in the College of Humanities and Social Science.

There are two types of award being offered:

* A College Development Studentship, which provides a stipend as well as paying tuition fees at the EU rate
* A College Scholarship, which pays only for the tuition fees at the EU rate.

The College Development Studentship is an extension of the current College Studentship. Successful applicants will receive a stipend and will in return provide some measure of support to their School. This work will be chosen to enhance the studentship holder's academic development. Applicants are automatically considered for both awards. Subject to satisfactory progress, the awards are tenable for up to three years. The College of Humanities and Social Science is now seeking applications for the 2010-2011 academic session.

College Studentships each comprise a stipend of at least £12,000 per annum (exact amount to be decided), fees paid (at Home/EU rate), and an annual research expenses allowance (£440). Applicants who are unsuccessful in obtaining a College Studentship are automatically considered for a College Scholarship.

College Scholarships pay fees at the Home/EU rate and a research expenses allowance (£440) per annum.
