University Endowment Funding 2012-13

The University currently has endowment funded studentships available:

Three x 3-year full-time PhD studentships match funded

50% of the costs (fees, standard stipend and project support) are met through the endowment fund and the remaining 50% to be match funded by the receiving School. The cost of the studentships has been estimated as follows:

• Tuition fees for a full-time Home/EU student are currently £3,732 in 2011/12;
• Research Council minimum stipend levels are £13,590 in 2011/12 and expected to rise to £13,930 in 2012/13;
• An approximate costing for a three-year full award commencing October 2012:

One J E Williams Full Studentship:

One three-year studentship is available where 100% costs for PhD (fees and stipend) are met through the endowment fund. The Studentship is open to Cardiff graduates only who wish study at Cardiff or another UK University; the terms of the bequest require us to prioritise those wishing to study at Oxford University.

This fund can also support MPhil projects.

Both the match-funded studentships and the J E Williams studentship(s) awards are available to Home/EU students commencing their PhD in 2012/13.

• Two x £1,000 awards are available for academic year 2011/12

• They are available to continuing, part-time, self-funding research students only.
