Full-time studentships will be of 3.5 years duration and part-time will be of 7 years duration. Supervisors can indicate on their project submission form whether they feel the project is compatible with part-time working patterns. Our award has been calculated on this basis. Applications for a longer duration will be considered on a case-by-case basis, as the grant allows for flexibility.
The elements of the studentship are: fees (UK/EU rate); UKRI national minimum stipend; and RTSG.
Please note: the funding is linked to the successful student. If the student withdraws at any stage, the funding will be re-allocated by the Management Board to the next best ranked student on the list. Therefore, supervisors will not automatically be able to re-advertise their project for a new student.
