The School of Languages, Cultures, Art History and Music at the University
of Birmingham would like
to invite you to a Postgraduate Open Day
for prospective students wishing to find out more about postgraduate study
opportunities, including the Joint Birmingham-Warwick
MA in Italian Studies: Culture and Communication (http://www.italian.bham.ac.uk/pg/ma.htm).
The Postgraduate Open Day will held in the Barber Institute of Fine Arts
from 3 p.m. to 4.30 p.m. on Wednesday 1st December 2010.
The School is home to one of the UK’s largest concentrations
of internationally renowned researchers in European languages and cultures,
music and history of art. The Open Day will be an opportunity to find
out about the wide variety of postgraduate
programmes we offer at Master’s and Doctoral level as well as the
application process and the funding opportunities available.
We anticipate that, through the College of Arts
and Law, there are likely to be up to 10 full-value PhD awards available for
2011-12. There will also be 5 AHRC Doctoral awards available in the
School’s subject areas (1 each in European Language & Culture,
Cultural Studies, History of Art, Italian Language & Culture, and Music),
and 3 at Master’s level (2 in History of Art, and 1 in Music). In addition,
we expect to make available a number of School awards at Master’s level
for 2011-12
At the Open Day current students will present on their
experiences as postgraduates in the School, and you will have the chance to put
your questions about postgraduate life to them, and to academic staff, in an
informal atmosphere. You will also be introduced to other opportunities
available to you in the wider postgraduate community at Birmingham.
We hope you will take this opportunity to come and talk to
us and hear what Birmingham
has to offer you and to get a sense of our thriving postgraduate community.
Those wishing to attend the Open Day should register by
contacting Sarah
Wildboar ([log in to unmask])
by Friday 26 November 2010.
