Each year, all postgraduate students within the College of Arts and Law (CAL) are eligible to apply for funding for support towards conference expenses or research expenses as part of the Postgraduate Research Support Fund.
The funding can cover anything from travel and accommodation to photocopying and books, and has proved to be a real help to our past and current doctoral researchers.
Applications are prioritised in the following way:
-
Applications that demonstrate significant added value to the applicant’s degree (e.g. giving a paper at a conference of international standing, the use of an archive that is of intrinsic value to the student’s research project etc)
-
Applications from students presenting a paper at a conference
-
Applications for conference attendance only
How to apply
There were two rounds of funding available in the 2012-13 academic year, open October-November and January-March. Details of funding available for 2013-14 will be available later in the year.
When the fund is open for applications, an application form will be available to download below.
