University of Nottingham PhD Scholarships Law School of Law

The School of Law invites applications for five postgraduate research scholarships available from October 2008. These scholarships cover *fees and a maintenance grant* totalling £16,500* per annum. Each scholarship is available for a period of one year initially, with the expectation of renewal for a further two years, subject to satisfactory performance in degree studies.

These scholarships are available in most areas of law in which the School is able to offer supervision and also interdisciplinary projects that have a legal aspect.

The criteria for award of the scholarships will be qualifications and potential (as revealed in grades, references and in other ways); performance at interview, if any; the quality of the research proposal; and practical experience and knowledge relevant to the area of research. Preference will be given to students who have applied for ORS awards and for International Office Scholarships through Nottingham.
