The award of £17,500 per annum for three years covers tuition fees (for 2017-18 these will be £4,183* for Home/EU students and £15,570 for international students) with the remainder paid as a stipend. (*This fee is an estimate. The final amount will be determined by Research Councils UK and is expected to be announced in spring 2017.)
The deadline for funding applications is 12 noon (British time) on Friday 7 April 2017 and these should be submitted to ss-pgr-upw@nottingham.ac.uk.
By the time the funding application is submitted students must have also applied for a place to study. This application is submitted via the University of Nottingham online system.
Please note: references only need to be submitted when you apply for a place to study – you do not need to submit them again when applying for studentship funding. For this reason, please ensure that your referees are aware that what they write will also be used to assess your funding application and that they are aware of the deadline for submission of references.
Informal enquiries may be addressed to Dr Karen Adler: karen.adler@nottingham.ac.uk
