- have received an offer from the School of Humanities and Social Sciences for full-time study for MPhil/PhD by 13 June 2008
The awards will only be made to those applicants who go on to enrol within the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Exeter. Awards are payable in instalments on enrolment and continuation is subject to satisfactory annual progression.
How do I apply?
There is no separate application procedure for these awards. All you have to do is apply for your MPhil or PhD. All eligible applicants who have been offered a place by the deadline of 13 June 2008 will automatically be considered for an award. It is very important that you apply for your MPhil/PhD early enough to have received an offer by the June deadline, or by February 2008 if you are also seeking Research Council funding.
