Applications are invited for ESRC/PIC funded studentships for UK/EU students to study the MSc Demography and Health and the MSc Reproductive and Sexual Health Research starting in September 2012. Funding includes full tuition fees at the Home/EU rate and a tax free stipend of at least £11,000.
RESIDENTIAL CRITERIA
Scholarships will only be awarded to students who are normally UK resident or EU students meeting standard ESRC eligibility requirements. All candidates should have settled status in the UK and have been ordinarily resident here for at least three years. Residence in the UK as a full-time student does not automatically qualify non-EU nationals for an award. Details of residential criteria can be accessed at http://www2.lse.ac.uk/socialPolicy/researchcentresandgroups/PIC/docs/pdf/ESRC_residential-guidelines.pdf. Relaxed international eligibility criteria do not apply to these awards.
ACADEMIC CRITERIA
Candidates must have qualifications of the standard of a good honours degree at first or upper second class level, from a UK academic institution. In the majority of cases, candidates will have undertaken an undergraduate course at a recognised UK higher education institution. However, some may have qualifications from outside the UK, or be able to offer a combination of qualifications and/or experience. In both cases it will be necessary for the institution where the candidate proposes to study to ascertain whether these qualifications can be equated to an honours degree at first or upper second class honours level. A less than sufficient first degree may be compensated for by other academic qualifications or relevant work experience. Enough information should be given to show that this has sufficiently enhanced the candidate’s knowledge to ESRC/PIC standards.
