Funding
We offer a number of studentships and bursaries for both Master's and research degrees:
- We have been awarded a number of Block Grant awards from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). For 2013-14 we will award AHRC full studentships (maintenance and fees) to both Master's and research students in Cultural Studies, European Language and Culture, History, History of Art, and in Law registered at one of our institutes and about to start their first year of study.
- We offer two full SAS bursaries for doctoral study which cover tuition fees and a maintenance grant, awarded on a competitive basis to students registered at one of our institutes and about to start their first year of study.
- Some of the institutes also have their own bursaries.
