Faculty PhD Studentships 2012
The Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences has launched a further 10 PhD studentships (also known as Dean's Awards) for 2012.
These awards are open to all nationalities and research areas within the Faculty.
Applications for the Faculty PhD Studentships/Dean’s Awards are open across the Faculty.
The awards will be allocated to outstanding applicants seeking PhD training opportunities starting from September/October 2012. Based on the academic track-record of applicants, and evidence of research potential, we will select from across our 2012 applicants.
The Faculty PhD Studentships will cover tuition fees plus a £14,000 stipend/living allowance.
Criteria
Applicants must have obtained (or expect to obtain) a minimum first-class honours degree (or equivalent), and ideally hold a Masters-level qualification at merit or distinction (or equivalent). They should also have a track-record of engaging with research. This may include contributions to publications/articles, promoting their research to a wider audience, prizes/accolades for previous research work, setting up research collaborations with other groups etc.

It would be helpful if your application can be clear as to what sources of funding you may have available to you or may also be applying to as some of the awards will be held in conjunction with other scholarships/monies. The School may need to get certain pieces of information from you if they are nominating you for the award. They will also need to have decided that they can make an offer of a place to you.
The deadline for applications is Wednesday 29th February, as the Faculty will be reviewing these at the beginning of March across the Faculty. The School should be able to advise you of their precise internal deadline as your application progresses.
