ESRC-funded Studentships

We have been successful in gaining recognition from the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) for 1+3 research studentships. Successful applicants are funded for a one-year research training Masters followed by three years’ further funding for the degree of PhD, subject to satisfactory progress.
