reputation and environment that the Department provides for its graduate
students and has awarded studentships for programmes run and directed by
members of the department’s Centre for Advanced Studies in Architecture
(CASA) in the MSc Conservation of Historic Gardens and Cultural Landscapes
for the cohort entering in 2011 and 2013.
Each year a top postgraduate conservation student will be awarded a
studentship that covers tuition and maintenance fees worth about £8,500.
These awards will normally be for one year or the part-time equivalent.
The deadline for applications is the 16th May 2011.
Please indicate on your application form that you wish to be considered for
the AHRC Graduate Studentship.
