School of Advanced Study Doctoral Studentships
The School will offer up to two studentships for research (i.e. doctoral) study which covers tuition fees and a maintenance grant, awarded on a competitive basis to students registered at one of our institutes, to commence in October 2013.
Value and eligibility criteria
School doctoral studentships cover fees and maintenance allowance at the full UK Research Council rate for London-based students. Studentships can be awarded to Home/EU or Overseas students and can be for full-time or part-time study. Only those students about to start their first year of study are eligible.
Only if you have been offered a place by the institute in which you wish to study, and you have accepted it, are you eligible to submit an application for funding.
The current maintenance rates are £15,590 full-time and £9,355 part-time. Rates may be subject to change. Students assessed for fees at the Overseas rate will be required to pay the difference between the Overseas and Home/EU fee.
Application process
The closing date for applications is 18 March 2013. Eligible students can apply for SAS studentships using the combined SAS and AHRC studentships application form [Word]. Students applying to both funding strands need only complete one form. Please refer to the guidance notes [Word] when you make your application
Application forms must be completed and submitted electronically to two email addresses: sas.registry@sas.ac.uk and katie.barton@sas.ac.uk.
Decisions
Institutes will forward applications recommended for a AHRC or SAS Studentships to a School nominations panel. The primary criterion will be academic merit. The decision of the School will be final.
Applicants who have been nominated for an AHRC or SAS Studentship will be notified by the School in May or early June.
