Fully Funded PhD Studentships
Eligibility: UK/EU/International
Deadline: 18 February 2013
Social Sciences Graduate School Research PhD Studentships are offered to prospective candidates from the academic year 2013/4.
The Studentships will be available under the Scheme to applicants who, in their research proposal, can clearly demonstrate academic excellence in areas relevant to the strategic interests of the School of Economics.
Please see our Economics Research pages and Academic Profiles for more details, and for the research interests of individual members of staff.
The Studentships cover tuition fees (UK/EU rates), a tax-free maintenance grant (currently £13,590 per year), and a research training support grant. International students are welcome to apply but must be able to pay the difference between UK/EU fees and international fees. However in some limited cases the School may consider providing "top up" grants covering the international component of tuition fees if a student's research topic is closely aligned to the strategic interests of the School.
Applicants are invited from suitably qualified graduates. Candidates should hold, or expect to hold, a minimum of at least a 2.1 degree and Research Masters degree or equivalent. Candidates may be asked to participate in an interview, which could take place via telephone or Skype as part of the selection process EU and International applicants may be required to provide evidence of competence in the English Language.
To be considered for this award, you should make an application for admission to an MPhil/PhD in the normal manner, but you should indicate the intention to be considered for an open studentship under the Postgraduate Studentships Scheme. Please look at our website for supervision and research interests in the School of Economics: Economics: Research Degrees (PhD/MPhil) - University of East Anglia (UEA). Feel free to contact the postgraduate admissions tutor, Professor Stephen Davies, if you wish to find out more about supervision possibilities.
Economics Research and Teaching Studentships
The School of Economics is pleased to offer Research and Teaching Studentships (RTS) in 2013/4 to non-fully externally funded applicants with a good Masters degree or equivalent in Economics or a related area. The School will offer up to 6 studentships to the right applicants.
The School of Economics is a lively, research-oriented department, committed to excellence in high quality research and teaching. The School has a strong international reputation in experimental and behavioural economics and in industrial and competition economics; it also engages in research in a number of other areas, such as development economics, labour economics, media economics, macroeconomics, financial econometrics and microeconometrics. Please click to access details of our Economics Research Areas.
The successful applicants will enroll on a research degree and will also be expected to contribute to a limited amount of teaching within the School. Training to develop teaching skills will be given through the University Teaching Skills Programme for Postgraduate Teaching Assistants. The studentship is for one year in the first instance, but this will be renewed for a further two years subject to satisfactory academic progress in both research and teaching.
The Studentship covers tuition fees (either Home/EU or international, as appropriate), a Maintenance Grant (£8,000 for 2012/3, 2013/4 figures to be confirmed) and a Research Training Support Grant of £750 per year. In addition, you will be required to engage in teaching and teaching support activities that should enable you to earn an additional £3,000 - £4,000 in year 1 and £4,000 - £5,000 in years 2 and 3 of your degree.
To be considered for this award, you should make an application for admission to an MPhil/PhD in the normal manner, but you should indicate the intention to be considered for a Research and Teaching Studentship.
