AHRC Masters Studentships (Research Preparation Masters)
In 2009, the University of Sussex was awarded a substantial number of Doctoral and
Research Preparation Masters Studentships for the following five years within an AHRC
Block Grant Partnership award.
This year, the School of Media, Film and Music will be offering 1 Research Preparation
Masters in each of the following:
Cultural Studies
Film Studies & Television Studies
Film, Digital and Media Production
Media and Film at Sussex is one of the leading departments in the UK in the field of
media theory, practice and research. We have a firmly established reputation in both
teaching and research, built on our distinctive interdisciplinary approach. In the 2008
national research assessment exercise (RAE) our results were excellent, placing us joint
8th out of 47 UK departments.
Studentships
The Research Preparation Masters awards are intended to support students undertaking
Master’s courses that focus on advanced study and research training explicitly intended to
provide a foundation for further research at doctoral level. Full and partial awards are
available Masters awards. A full award covers fees and an annual, tax free stipend of
£9,280 (2009/10 rates). A partial award covers fees only. To see if you would be eligible
for a full or partial award, please see the AHRC's student eligibility criteria. If you are a
part time student, support is pro rata.
Deadline
The deadline for applications is 5 March 2010.
