Dear colleagues,
I'm enclosing below two adverts for various postgraduate fellowships
enabling to study at the University of Edinburgh.
Naturally, as member of the Russian department and contributor to the
programme of film studies, I would like to encourage applications that
cover Russian studies (cultural studies, linguistics, interdisciplinary
studies, literature, critical theory, history of ideas and comparartive
studies).
Please feel free to distribute it further.
All best,
Alexandra Smith (PhD, University of London)

LLC School Scholarships
Applications are invited from highly qualified applicants who wish to
commence PhD study
in the School of LLC in September 2007.
These three year awards will cover home rate fees only. International
students may apply
on the understanding that they must pay the difference between the home and
overseas rate
themselves. Although our normal entrance requirement for admission is an
honours BA at
upper second class or equivalent, it is envisaged that the competition
for these awards will be such that applicants should have a first class
Bachelors
degree and are likely to have, or be expecting to gain, an excellent Masters
degree.
The deadline for applications is 1 June 2007. Application forms,
together with 2 confidential references and your full research proposal,
should be
submitted by that date, as indicated on the form.

www.scholarships.ed.ac.uk/
Four scholarships are available to students of Russian birth who have
been accepted at the University of Edinburgh on a full-time postgraduate
degree
programme in any subject offered by the University. For the 2007-2008
academic session two of
the four awards will be awarded to applicants who are applying to undertake
a
business-related course. Each scholarship will be worth £20,000 which will
be used towards tuition
fees, research costs, books, travel to and from Russia and general living
costs.
These four scholarships are being offered as part of a five year commitment
made by
Scottish & Newcastle plc to fund up to 12 awards for Russian scholars.
One further scholarship will be awarded in 2007-2008 to a Russian citizen
who has
graduated from the State Institute of International Relations
(University), Moscow. This additional award is available to applicants who
are accepted for
admission on a full-time basis for any postgraduate Master's programme of
study at the
University of Edinburgh.
Eligibility
The scholarships will be awarded to Russian citizens who have
undertaken a first degree in Russia and who are accepted for admission on a
full-time basis for
a postgraduate degree programme at the University of Edinburgh - MSc, MBA,
MPhil, PhD
or a Postgraduate
Certificate in Education (PGCE).
Applicants should already have been offered a place at the University
of Edinburgh and should have firmly accepted that offer or be intending to
do so.
Criteria
The scholarship will be awarded on the basis of academic merit with
candidates requiring the equivalent of a first-class honours degree or upper
second-class
honours degree from a Russian university.
Application Procedure
