Doctoral Fellowships at Durham University, UK

Doctoral Fellowships
Scheme for 2009/10

The University offers a generous package of support to outstanding
doctoral research students through the Durham University Doctoral
Fellowship scheme. The scheme provides:

Full payment of tuition fees at home or overseas rate
A maintenance stipend at the national rate (£13,290 in 2009/10)
A research training support grant (£1,000 in 2009/10)
An allowance to attend the North East local Grad School.

Eligibility

Applicants must meet the standard University and department
admissions criteria
and have applied to the University for admission
in the session 2009/10, as a registered research student, to a
course of full-time study for a PhD. Students who are already
registered for a PhD course are not eligible to apply for an award.

Nature of Awards

Awards will normally be extended for another two years subject to
progress being deemed satisfactory by the academic department and
the Graduate School's Postgraduate Awards Sub-Committee. If
extended, the award would continue to provide a full waiver of fees,
a maintenance award at the nationally agreed rate and a research
training support grant.

Fellows will be required to participate in a programme of academic
activities designed to further enhance their development as
researchers. Details of this programme will be provided to
Fellowship holders at the start of their programme of study.
