Fee Scholarships
The School has a number of fee scholarships available on an annual basis. See the University´s central web pages for prospective postgraduates for details.
The University has applied for a BGP and will know the outcome on February 23rd 2009. If successful, the BGP will allow the University to award, on a competitive basis and subject to AHRC approval, studentships to prospective postgraduate students. EU nationals accepted to study on programmes and in subject areas for which BGP studentships have been allocated will be eligible for nomination to AHRC. Information about the outcome of the BGP Competition will be posted on this web page and elsewhere. If the University is not awarded a BGP allocation, students who have already been admitted to the University to study can still apply to the AHRC Studentship Competition for funding.
In the meantime, it is possible for applicants for University of Sheffield studentships to indicate their interest now in being considered for AHRC studentships. For more details, follow the link below. The final deadline for applying for AHRC funded studentships in this subject area, is 31 March 2009.
Please note that in order to be considered for a University of Sheffield or AHRC studentship, you must first apply to the University for admission to an appropriate programme of study.
