ESRC Doctoral Training Centre +3 and 1+3 Studentships
University of Exeter - College of Life and Environmental Sciences
The College of Life and Environmental Sciences at the University of Exeter is pleased to be offering ESRC 1+3 or +3 studentships in the South West Doctoral Training Centre. We are currently inviting applications for up to 2 studentships in the area of Psychology for 2012/13 entry.
For the 1+3 studentships in Psychology we would require you to register for either the MSc Psychological Research Methods or the MSc Social and Organisational Psychology (Streatham Campus, Exeter). For the +3 studentships you would register for the MPhil/PhD Psychology at the Streatham Campus, Exeter.
We strongly recommend that applicants identify a potential supervisor sufficiently early in the process to enable discussion of potential research projects and time to liaise over development of a research proposal before submitting an application. Supervisors can be identified from the following research groups:
Psychology
A studentship will cover UK/EU fees and an annual Research Council maintenance grant (in 2011/12 this was £13,590 for full-time students, pro rata for part-time students) for up to three years for +3 candidates, and up to four years for 1+3 candidates.
Academic entry requirements:
For the 1+3 programme students must have a strong first degree (at least an Upper Second Class Honours or equivalent) in a social science discipline. Candidates for the +3 programme must, in addition, have (or be about to complete) a Masters degree in a humanities or social science discipline. Candidates who have completed their Masters in an ESRC-accredited programme are especially encouraged to apply.
Residency entry requirements:
Home students receive a full ESRC studentship; EU students who have not been resident in the UK for the last three years before the start of their studentship are eligible for a fees-only award. If you are unsure of your eligibility, you can check the ESRC eligibility requirements in Annex 1 of the ESRC Postgraduate Funding Guide.
Application procedures:
In order to apply you will need to complete an online web form where you must submit some personal details and upload the following documents (preferred format for uploaded files is .pdf and preferred filename should start with your last name):
The closing date for applications is midnight Friday 17 February 2012.
We expect to hold interviews in early March 2012.
