The University of Nottingham School of Contemporary Chinese Studies PhD Research Scholarship Deadlines
The School of Contemporary Chinese Studies (SCCS) at the University of Nottingham is the UK's second largest teaching and research centre focused on contemporary China. The Doctorate programme allows students to conduct in-depth research on a broad range of social sciences and business-related subjects as well as topics covering china policy through the School's China Policy Institute. We currently have the following PhD scholarships opportunities:
School Scholarship for doctoral research This award would cover full tuition fees and a maintenance grant of approximately £13,863 each year for a maximum of three years of full-time doctoral study (subject to evidence of satisfactory progress). The stipend for International students will be lower (£6,500 approx.) due to the higher tuition fee. Excellent applications in any area of Chinese Studies that can be supervised by the School's academic staff are welcomed. The closing date is 16th May 2014 and further information on this scholarship is available on the School's webpages.
Vice-Chancellor's Scholarship for Research Excellence (European Union) 30 x full EU tuition fee and £8,400 per year bursaries towards living expenses for EU students across all faculties.
