We welcome applications for scholarships through the following schemes:
AHRC-funded PhDs
The University of Glasgow is part of a consortium of eight Higher Education institutions which has been awarded funding from the AHRC to support postgraduate studentships and training in the Arts and Humanities in Scotland. Under the Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) scheme, the consortium - comprised of the Universities of Aberdeen, Dundee, Glasgow, Edinburgh, St Andrews, Stirling, Strathclyde and Glasgow School of Art - will consider applications for doctoral studentship awards in the majority of Arts and Humanities subjects. More information about the studentships and the application process http://bit.ly/artsahrc
ESRC-funded Masters and PhDs
The University of Glasgow is a member institution of the ESRC Scottish Graduate School of Social Science Doctoral Training Centre. The University welcomes applications for ESRC 1+3 (Masters + PhD) and +3 (doctoral) studentships in the following areas: Social and Applied Investigations in Language (SAIL) and Language Sciences. The SAIL pathway focuses on the mechanisms and patterns of language variation in communities; the emergence, negotiation and contestation of ideologies and identity-formation in discourse and interaction; and group and individual responses to language use in institutional settings such as education, health and the legal system. The Language Sciences pathway focuses on training in techniques from cognitive science, such as computational modelling and experimental design.
