You will need the support of a supervisor before you can start the CHASE application, and a supporting statement from a supervisor before you can submit a CHASE application. It is therefore strongly recommended that early contact with potential supervisors is made (e.g. by the November before the application deadline), so that you can discuss and refine your research proposal well before the deadline.
If you would like help identifying possible supervisors for your research please send an outline of your research proposal to chase.dtp@uea.ac.uk, indicating the School of study you wish to apply to.
Applications
Those wishing to be considered for CHASE funding must submit two applications by the deadlines, one to UEA for a place to study for a PhD; and one for CHASE studentship funding. Details of deadlines etc will be published in the autumn.
The University of East Anglia is deeply committed to widening participation, and applications are welcomed from groups who are under-represented in the research community, including those from ethnic minorities, lower-income backgrounds, and people with disabilities
