Twenty fully-funded Excellence Studentships have now been advertised through Jobs.ac.uk, FindAPhD.com and the Chronicle of Higher Education. These studentships are for new PhD applicants in any area of research strength at UEL.

We are hoping to receive some very strong external applications, but are also keen to encourage our own promising UEL students. All academic & research staff are asked to encourage promising UEL students who maybe considering studying a PhD, to apply.

The Excellence Studentships are to include a full stipendiary living allowance, starting at £16,057 for 2015/16, in addition to a £2,000 training bursary. Full details, including how to submit an informal enquiry or formal application, can be found at http://www.uel.ac.uk/studentships.

Queries about the application process and from any prospective applicants should be directed to Ben Whitham, in the Graduate School, in the first instance (b.whitham@uel.ac.uk<mailto:b.whitham@uel.ac.uk>).
