London Social Science
We have 10 ESRC-funded studentships for postgraduate research in the social sciences. The studentships will commence on 1st October 2012.
Students interested in applying for funding to this DTC will need to apply to the relevant disciplinary pathway. The accredited pathways in the social sciences at both Queen Mary and Goldsmiths are listed to the right in blue.
Studentships will cover tuition fees and provide a stipend to cover living costs, for up to four years. The studentships will fund a period of research training (if required, usually 1 year FT), plus MPhil/PhD research (usually 3 years FT). There is a degree of flexibility in the pathways available for research training within each accredited disciplinary pathways. The Department or School to which you will be applying can provide more detailed advice.
For students in who were successful in our 2011 competition the FT stipend (including London Weighting) was £15590. The ESRC generally increase their stipends each year in line with the cost of living.
