City University
City University London's success in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) confirmed a major step-change in our research profile. World-class activity was recognised in many areas, leading to an increase of over 50% in our quality research funding. Based on that success, we have recently concluded a major review of research and knowledge transfer, which has allowed us to redefine our research as an all-inclusive set of activities comprising basic and applied research, policy- and practice-focused research, knowledge and technology transfer, entrepreneurship and consultancy. As we prepare for the future, our attention is focused on demonstrating the societal value of our research and the impact it makes on business, industry, government policies and the professions.
Our research and enterprise activities are more exciting and diverse than ever, with subjects ranging across business, social sciences, engineering and mathematics, informatics, law, music, journalism, cultural policy and a wide range of areas in the health-related domains.
City Overseas Student Awards
With the end of the UK Government's Overseas Research Students (ORS) Awards, we have also decided to institute our own scheme in order to supplement the main studentships and to increase support for international research students. The City Overseas Student Awards will cover the doctoral tuition fees of overseas fee-paying students who can demonstrate outstanding merit and research potential. Eligible candidates will be considered for both full studentships and these additional awards.

Closing date for applications: Monday 25 January 2010
