At Exeter a sub-group of Research Committee consider
applications for ORS nominations. (Next year when wwe have
a Graduate Office it will be for the Board of Graduate
Studies to make the nominations).
Nominations are made based on academic merit (we normally
have around 40 for the 10-12 nominations were are permitted
to make). We do also consider the likelihood of the
applicants being able to secure funding to cover the
non-ORS element and would give preference to applicants
who are to be awarded a bursary by the School to which they
have applied. We also ask Schools to rank applications if
they have more than one nominee.
Our success rate is around 6 or 7 of the total nominated to
ORS.
I hope this is helpful
