The advice contained on this page applies to both types of award.
Awards cover both fees and maintenance.
The deadline for applications for both types of award is May 1st. This is an absolute deadline, and the AHRB will not consider any application after that date. That means that you should apply promptly for your chosen course, and that you might be well advised to apply to several institutions at the same time. If you wait until you have heard from one institution before you apply to another you could find that the whole process draws on beyond the AHRB deadline. The reason for this is that experience has shown that students who have had proper training in research methods are more likely to complete their Ph.D. dissertations promptly.
