will pay necessary University fees.
Applicants must have been awarded their first undergraduate degree on January 2008 or later
and should hold, or be expected to obtain, an academic qualification equivalent to a First Class Honours or Upper Second Class degree from a British University. Applicants must have discussed a possible research project with their potential supervisor, and
