Whitehead Studentships

CSISP is able to offer one postgraduate research studentship of £3000 per annum for the academic year 2010-11. The studentships are expected to contribute to tuition fee costs of home, EU or overseas students not in receipt of Research Council grants or equivalent sources of funding. Both new and existing students may apply for such studentships.

Application Procedure

If you are applying for a place as a postgraduate research student in the Department please indicate in a covering letter, attached to your application form, that you wish to apply for a Whitehead studentship. You may apply for both ESRC and Whitehead studentships.

If you are an existing postgraduate research student you should provide:

  • a statement of your current research project

  • a curriculum vitae, including names of two referees

  • one piece of written work based on your current research

  • a statement in support of your application from your principal supervisor

All studentship applications should be sent to b.ward@gold.ac.uk, Mphil/PhD Postgraduate Secretary, Sociology.

  2. The application deadline is 21st May 2010.

  3. All postgraduate students are subject to the departmental and college annual review process.

  4. Studentships may be renewed annually, and can be held for a maximum of three years.
