If your application is successful and you are awarded a studentship, you will receive the following
If you are a new PhD student:
If you are already a PhD student in your first year of study (or equivalent if part-time) and you successfully apply to WRoCAH, you will receive all of the above except the duration of funding is different. Your funding will take into account the number of months of your PhD you have already completed. You will receive at least 28 months of funding, plus any months of your first year that are still to be completed by 1st October 2023.
In order to be eligible
Submission within the funded period:
The AHRC requires that all newly funded students submit their thesis within their funded period. Therefore you must plan to complete your thesis in the funded period from the very beginning. Please talk to your supervisor about how to scale the project to fit within this timeframe and ensure you are both planning towards this deadline.
International Candidates:
The Competition is open to all candidates, whether Home or International. However, please note that if you are awarded a studentship, we are not permitted to cover the costs associated with moving to the UK or to your new University. All such costs (visa, health surcharge, flights, etc.) will need to be covered by you or you will need to find an alternative funding source.
The application deadline for the WRoCAH AHRC Open Studentships Competition is 17:00 GMT on Wednesday 25 January 2023.
