Fully funded studentships to undertake design-based/led/focused/driven research are being offered by Loughborough Design School. Details are available at: http://www.lboro.ac.uk/service/graduateschool/funding/GSstudentships2012.htm To qualify for funding, applicants must be eligible to pay tuition fees at UK/EU rates. Details of the Design School's seven research groups are available at: http://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/lds/research/groups/ I would advise any potential candidate to discuss opportunities with research group leaders or a relevant member of academic staff before submitting an application. And if the 31 October 2011 deadline is a little tight, a further call will be announced in Spring 2012.
