We welcome applications from home, EU and
international candidates seeking to undertake a full-time PhD programme
at King’s with one of the advertised projects, who can demonstrate
academic excellence and research potential.
Candidates are asked to submit a current CV and
cover letter identifying which project they would like to be considered
for explaining why they would be suitable. Two academic references must
be received by the deadline for the application
to be eligible.
Certain projects will require additional
documentation, e.g. writing sample, details of which can be found within
the project summaries via http://www.kcl.ac.uk/study/pos
Documents should be emailed to graduateschool@kcl.ac.uk by 11:59pm (UK BST) on 18 June 2017 with the subject ‘RT Scholarship 1617 – [include relevant project title].’
Each scholarship will be worth £15,000 per year for
a 3 year period and can be used to cover tuition fees and/or living
costs, plus, where relevant, any additional contribution, financial or
in-kind, provided by a partner organisation,
details of which can be found by reading the individual project
descriptions.
Applicants must be aware that this is a partial
scholarship which will require the applicant to have additional funding
in place to successfully complete it. Awards are granted on the
understanding that the award-holder will take responsibility
for any additional expenses incurred for the duration of study.
