Studentships

AHRC Funded Studentships

AHRC funded studentships will be available either through the AHRC Studentship Competition, or through a Block Grant Partnership (BGP) whereby the University will have an allocated number of studentships in specified subject areas and for specified schemes -- Research Preparation Masters (RPM), Professional Preparation Masters (PPM), and Doctoral.

The University has applied for a BGP and will know the outcome on February 2010. If successful, the BGP will allow the University to award, on a competitive basis and subject to AHRC approval, studentships to prospective postgraduate students. EU nationals accepted to study on programmes and in subject areas for which BGP studentships have been allocated will be eligible for nomination to AHRC. Information about the outcome of the BGP Competition will be posted on this web page and elsewhere. If the University is not awarded a BGP allocation, students who have already been admitted to the University to study can still apply to the AHRC Studentship Competition for funding.
