Subject: University of Sheffield and AHRC postgraduate studentships in
Russian/Slavonic
The University of Sheffield is offering 15 postgraduate studentships for
students in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities: eight cover UK/EU fees and
offer a maintenance award at the Research Council rate of £13,290; seven
cover UK/EU fees and offer a maintenance award at 50% of the Research
Council rate, i.e. £6,645.
Applicants for research degrees (MPhil and PhD) in the Department of Russian
and Slavonic Studies may apply, subject to eligibility, for these awards.
The deadline is 31 March 2009. For more information, follow the link below.
http://www.shef.ac.uk/russian/postgraduate/fees.html
Please note that in order to be considered for a University of Sheffield
studentship, you must first apply to the University for admission to an
appropriate programme of study.
Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) funding
AHRC-funded studentships will be available either through the AHRC's
Studentship Competition, or through a Block Grant Partnership (BGP) whereby
the University will have an allocated number of studentships in specified
subject areas and for specified schemes -- Research Preparation Masters
(RPM), Professional Preparation Masters (PPM), and Doctoral.
The University has applied for a BGP and will know the outcome on 23
February 2009. If the application is successful, the BGP will allow the
University to award, on a competitive basis and subject to AHRC approval,
studentships to prospective postgraduate students. EU nationals accepted to
study on programmes and in subject areas for which BGP studentships have
been allocated will be eligible for nomination to AHRC. Information about
the outcome of the BGP Competition will be posted on this web page and
elsewhere. The University hopes that, when the outcome of its application is
known, it will be able to offer a number of Doctoral awards in the subject
area of Russian, Slavonic and Eastern European Language and Culture over the
period covered by the first round of the Scheme (2009–2013). If the
University is not awarded a BGP allocation, students who have already been
admitted to the University to study can still apply to the AHRC Studentship
Competition for funding.
It is possible for applicants for University of Sheffield studentships to
indicate their interest now in being considered for AHRC awards. For more
details, follow the link below.

Students who wish to be considered for AHRC-funded studentships in this
subject area must apply to the University no later than 31 March 2009.
Please note that in order to be considered for a University of Sheffield or
AHRC studentship, you must first apply to the University for admission to an
appropriate programme of study.
