being extended for 3 months to more provide professional development 
opportunities, or up to 3 months of funding be used to pay for the costs

funded time or part-time equivalent on professional development. This 
can include appropriate placements, work experiences, and attending 
training courses. The use of this time will need to be agreed by the 
student with by co-supervisors to best support the individual student’s 
training requirements and professional development.

months) of starting their studies, if studying full time. The successful 
candidate will receive a bursary to cover tuition fees and up to four 
years of maintenance stipend at the AHRC UK/EU rate for collaborative
