Research Studentships at Middlesex University
 
As part of its ongoing investment in research, Middlesex University has
announced the availability of a further 24 fully funded research
studentships for 2013. Applications from well qualified candidates are
invited in the following areas:
 
Art & Design
Business, Management & Economics
Health, Education & Sports Science
Law & Criminology
Media & Performing Arts
Psychology
Science & Technology
Social Work & Social Policy

There is however no cap on studentships per department, and so we hope to
attract as many strong applications as possible to the Department of Media
and Performing Arts.

A list of staff interests and expertise can be found via:
http://www.mdx.ac.uk/aboutus/staffdirectory/index.aspx

The bursaries are offered on a full-time basis and cover a maintenance award
and fee payments (at the UK/EU rate). The Scholarships are for three years,
subject to satisfactory progress.

The level of the maintenance element of the Scholarships is linked to the
level of corresponding awards made by UK research councils and is subject to
regular review. Maintenance payments for 2012/13 are £15,590 per annum
(including London weighting). The studentship bursaries are free of both tax
and national insurance contributions.

In addition to work on the doctoral research project, successful applicants
will be expected to contribute to associated activities within the School.
