Two types of studentship award are available: Faculty PhD Scholarships; 
Vice-Chancellor (VC) Awards

• Faculty PhD Scholarships will provide a maintenance allowance of 
£14,000 per annum, in addition to payment of tuition fees (tuition fees 
will be paid in full by the School). Successful candidates will normally 
be expected to contribute up to 40 hours per year of teaching 
activities, at the discretion of the Head of School. NB. These awards 
are available for full-time study only (if a studentship is awarded and 
the award holder transfers to part time registration, then the holder 
will be deemed to have withdrawn from the studentship).

• Vice-Chancellor (VC) Awards worth up to £7,000 per year to either 
contribute to international fees or to cover Home/EU fees plus 
contribution towards living costs (for three years of full-time study). 
NB. The VC Awards are available for full- or part-time study (the latter 
calculated pro-rata).

To be eligible for consideration, the full application must be submitted 
by the deadline of 31 January 2017. This includes the standard 
application form, research proposal, CV, and other supporting 
documentation (transcripts, reference letters, IELTS certificates where 
necessary, etc., and for practice-based applicants a portfolio of work). 
For the avoidance of doubt, if any of the documents listed have not been 
submitted by the closing date you will not be eligible for the scholarship.

All shortlisted applicants will need to be available for interview 
(either in person or via Skype). Interviews are likely to be scheduled 
for the first week in March.
