PhD Studentships and PhD Fee Bursaries
School of Languages, Linguistics and Cultures
The School of Languages, Linguistics and Cultures has one of the UK's largest and most diverse postgraduate communities in the UK, enjoying state-of-the-art facilities and excellent support within a high-quality research environment.. In step with our continuing expansion, we are enhancing our support for students registering for a research degree (PhD) in 2008-9. As part of this the School is pleased to announce it will be offering a number of PhD Studentships (fees and maintenance) and PhD Fee bursaries to new PhD applicants.
PhD Studentship (fees and maintenance)
The PhD Studentship competition is open to full-time and part-time students applying for a PhD programme within the School of Languages, Linguistics and Cultures at the University of Manchester.
The awards:
• For full-time PhD students the award will cover payment of the full-time Manchester Home/EU fees (£3300 in 2008-9) or partial assistance with international fees, plus a maintenance bursary.
• For part-time PhD students the award will cover payment of the part-time Manchester Home/EU fees (£1650 in 2008-9), plus a maintenance bursary.
Students who are eligible and suitably qualified must also apply for an externally funded studentship award i.e. AHRC or ESRC as appropriate and awards will be only be made if candidates are unsuccessful in external funding competitions. Please note, we are also in a position to consider studentship applications from candidates who have missed the deadline for the external funding competitions (AHRC/ESRC). Please contact the relevant PhD Programme Director regarding your research topic and/or your suitability for externally funded competitions. See the School Website for details.
PhD Fee Bursaries (assistance with fees)
