> Studentships for the MA (Res)
>
> The School intends to award up to two studentships to suitable candidates
> studying full-time for the MA (Res) degree in French, German or Italian
> Studies in the academic year 2008/9. The studentships will each have a
> value of £10,000, which will cover student fees (currently £3,500 for Home
> and EU students, £8,800 for others) and a contribution to the cost of
> maintenance. Successful candidates will need to show that they have
> sufficient resources in addition to this sum to support them as full-time
> students of the University.
>
> The MA (Res) lasts for one year and is intended to prepare students to
> undertake a Reading PhD. It comprises a core Introduction to Advanced
> Study and Research Methodology, two option modules and a dissertation, and
> provides students with the opportunity to purpose-design a course of
> studies negotiated with the School on the basis of their learning needs
> and the School staff's research interests.
>
> Candidates must have an excellent undergraduate record in the subject in
> which they intend to study for the MA, must show their motivation to do
> this, and must propose a suitable scheme of MA study that falls within the
> research interests of School staff, with an indication of how they
> currently plan to develop this into PhD work. Applications are welcomed in
> the subject-areas that fall within the School Research Theme 'Modern
> European Languages and Cultures' (see
> http://www.rdg.ac.uk/research/themes/res-themes.asp), but may be made in
> any area of research in French, German or Italian studies in which the
> School is active.
>
> See http://www.rdg.ac.uk/languages for more information on the MA (Res)
> degree, on staff research interests, and about the School, the University,
> and graduate studies at Reading. See also http://www.rdg.ac.uk/progspecs/
> for the detailed MA (Res) Programme Specifications.

> Contact Lucy Evans at [log in to unmask] for the appropriate
> application forms, and for any further information; it would be helpful if
> potential applicants included at this stage a provisional indication of
> the subject-areas in which they propose to study for the MA. If necessary,
> a member of staff in the appropriate department will be available to
> discuss proposed applications.
>
> Completed application forms and accompanying material must be received by
> the School by 28 April 2008.
>
> Successful candidates will also be expected to apply, where feasible, for
> MA and then PhD postgraduate funding at Reading from the Arts and
> Humanities Research Council (see http://www.ahrc.ac.uk/). The funding for
> the present studentships will be for one year only; successful applicants
> will be expected to find funding for the PhD from another source; see
> http://www.extra.reading.ac.uk/studentfinance/ for PhD funding
> opportunities at Reading.
