ESRC funding is available only for those courses that have ESRC recognition. The ESRC expects applicants will have a First Class or Upper Second Class Honours Degree. EU students may be eligible to apply for ESRC studentships. The Department of Academic Affairs will advise you on your eligibility. Tuition Fees for full-time study only.
Applicants apply to the department concerned.
Applicants and institutions must apply to the ESRC by May 1, 1999. Course organisers in departments which do not have Quota Awards can only nominate one applicant per course for a Competition Studentship. You may apply for 1 Quota Award and 1 Competition Award. Much depends on your reasons for studying at the Masters' level. If the latter, you need to ensure that the course offers research training which will be helpful at the doctoral level.
