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.
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
