ESRC SeNSS Studentships for PhD at University of Sussex in UK 2022
The University of Sussex offers a number of ESRC SeNSS Studentships for PhD via the South-East Network for Social Sciences Doctoral Training Partnership in the 2022 academic session.
You will work on a research project that you have devised and planned.
- A competent academic supervision team will assist you with this project.
- Working with an external partner (such as a company, a charity, or a think tank) may offer you data, equipment, or people for research, as well as extra funds for your studentship and/or an additional supervisor.
Worth of Award
Scholarships pay Ph.D. tuition fees in the United Kingdom (now £4,407 per year), a stipend (currently £15,285 per year), as well as certain research and training expenses.
- Only UK level PhD expenses are covered by ESRC scholarships; however, a limited number of complete international scholarships may be offered.
