Awards are open to all fields of politics represented within the department, including Central Asian Politics and International Relations.

The awards cover: Direct payment of tuition fees (at either the standard UK/EU rate or International rate); Research council equivalent maintenance allowance for accommodation and living expenses (In 2008/09 this was L13,290 p.a).
