Bournemouth University offers 6 PhD scholarships in Tourism for 2008
Bournemouth University is committed to building on areas of academic strength through an ambitious and sustained programme of investment. The drive to recruit new PhD students is part of the University's new investment strategy to build on its research achievements and develop world-class centres of academic excellence. The PhD studentships serve as a key component of that strategy. The final close date for applications is 31 July 2008. However, applications are assessed independently and offers may be made to ideal candidates throughout the process. As such - apply early to avoid disappointment. We are now seeking 6 outstanding individuals to take up three-year, fully funded (£12,900 stipend p.a. plus fees covered-tax free) full time PhD studentship appointments in Tourism in 2008. The studentships are offered within the International Centre for Tourism and Hospitality Research
International Centre for Tourism & Hospitality Research
Bournemouth University is committed to building on areas of academic strength through an ambitious and sustained programme of investment. Research in the School of Services Management is organised around our research centres, each of which comprises both teaching staff and research students. The ICTHR is pleased to offer six of fully funded PhD studentships. Please note within the School of Services Management that only one of these studentships will be offered to an overseas fee-based candidate and the remainder to Home/EU fee-based candidates. Candidates for the fully-funded PhD studentship must demonstrate outstanding qualities and be motivated to complete a PhD in 3 years. All candidates must satisfy the School's minimum doctoral entry criteria for studentships of: an honours degree at Upper Second Class (2.1) and/or an appropriate Masters degree. An IELTS (Academic) score of 6.5 minimum is essential for candidates for whom English is not their first language. In addition to satisfying basic entry criteria, the Research Centre will look closely at the qualities, skills and background of each candidate and what they can bring to their chosen research project.
