* We aim to process your application for a place on a course as soon as possible which is usually within 2-4 weeks of receipt. However, during our busiest times (April-June), this process can take up to 6 weeks. Please bear these timescales in mind when seeking scholarships because you need to have received your offer of a place on a course before scholarship panels meet. Ensuring you provide all relevant documents will help us process your application according to these timescales.
How to apply for our scholarships
You are automatically considered for the above school scholarships when you apply to study here - there is no separate application process, however please note the eligibility requirements above.
If you have any enquires please contact Postgraduate Enquiries or telephone 0113 34 33610.
How we award the scholarships
All the scholarships offered within the School will be allocated by our Scholarships Panel according to the following academic criteria:
  • Overall degree average (both at undergraduate and masters level for PhD applicants)
  • 'Exit velocity' on previous degree courses (how you improved from year to year)
  • Performance in research-based pieces of coursework (e.g. dissertations) and/or research methodology courses
  • Evidence of strong project management skills and an aptitude for time management on independent research projects
  • Academic references
Scholarship winners and reserve candidates will be contacted in July 2011.
Paid Employment
Postgraduate students have opportunities to teach undergraduates and we have numerous internships which all students are welcome to apply for. You can earn extra money in freshers week by running mock tutorials for new undergraduate students.

Funding for conference attendance and research trips
We award small grants (up to a maximum of £100 per student per year) to help with research trips or conference attendance for example. Grants are also available for group activities such as organising an event or a trip. We encourage you to apply to the AHRC, British Academy, and other external bodies for additional funds relating to your work.
