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,

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
