UK : Queen Margaret University Postgraduate Research Bursaries

Queen Margaret University is making funds available to support PhD students undertaking research in our key research themes. Funding will be allocated through one, university-wide competition.

Successful candidates will receive:

• full waiver of tuition fees
• an annual stipend of £11,000 for 3 years
• £2000 over the course of the project for expenses and travel

Students would start in September 2011. Funding lasts for 3 years for full-time students, 6 years for part-time.

Research methods training is offered in the first semester but after that there are no taught elements as such - students are expected to manage their own research project, with guidance from a supervisor.

Who can apply?

PhD studentships can only be awarded for candidates willing to undertake research in specific topics as determined by the University and / or funding partners. No scholarships are available for other research projects.

To be eligible for a bursary, the following criteria must apply:

• The applicant meets the standard entry criteria for research degrees.
• The research proposal is in one of the topic areas specified.
• Applicants may apply to study on a part-time or full-time basis, but they must be willing to be resident within reach of Edinburgh.
• Applicants must be willing to study for a full PhD, not an MPhil.
• Applicants may come from the UK or any other country.

Successful candidates are likely to have a good qualification in the relevant topic: either a first class honours degree or a Masters. Dedication, enthusiasm and strong communication skills in both written and spoken English are essential.

International applicants and the SORSAS scheme

International applicants are welcome to apply for QMU studentships. Successful candidates will receive the benefits listed above.

Unfortunately the SORSAS funding which had presiously been open to international research students is no longer available.

What are the topics?

The topics relate to QMU's areas of specialism and are built around our inter-disciplinary Research Themes:

• Physical therapies
• Nutrition and metabolism in Health and Disease
• Social Determinants of Health
• Speech and Communications
• Media, culture and production
• Sustainable business
