125th Anniversary Studentships

To celebrate our 125th anniversary, Bangor University is launching a five year programme of postgraduate expansion. This starts in 2009-10 when we will invest around £5M in up to 125 research studentships and bursaries, with further expansion and more opportunities to apply for in the future. This first round of new awards are all studentships and bursaries for 3 year PhD study.

The following College members are currently accepting applications from potential PhD students. There are 8 fully funded studentships and 7 bursaries.We welcome applications from Home/EU and International students.

Each holder of a PhD studentship receives an annual maintenance grant of £12,500 (for 2009/10) and an annual research allowance of up to £1,500 (for approved expenditure) with the core grant rising by £500 p.a. Studentship holders do not pay fees. No additional allowances are payable. Successful studentship applicants will be expected to supply around 100 hours per year of teaching/Research Assistance work as part of their development as an academic of the future.

Each PhD bursary provides an annual allowance of £5,000 and an annual research allowance of up to £1,500 (for approved expenditure). Fees are payable. Applicants are not expected to teach or act as Research Assistants, but may apply to do so if vacancies occur.
