Postgraduate Study

Funding Opportunities

The Centre (via the Department of Politics and International Studies) puts forward a limited number of students each year for ESRC studentships. Prospective students must indicate that they wish to be considered for an ESRC studentship.

Students wishing to conduct fieldwork should be mindful of the related costs, such as travel, accommodation and visas. There is limited financial help available through the department to support the costs of fieldwork and conferences. Applicants should not expect to rely on this as the sole source of funds for their fieldwork. Details of funding can be found on the Departmental Fieldwork Fund webpage, but this can be subject to change.
