Durham University Doctoral Fellowship 2009

The University offers a generous package of support to outstanding doctoral research students through the Durham University Doctoral Fellowship scheme. The scheme provides:

Full payment of tuition fees at home or overseas rate
A maintenance stipend at the national rate (£13,290 in 2009/10)
A research training support grant (£1,000 in 2009/10)
An allowance to attend the North East local Grad School.

Eligibility
Applicants must meet the standard University and department admissions criteria and have applied to the University for admission in the session 2009/10, as a registered research student, to a course of full-time study for a PhD. Students who are already registered for a PhD course are not eligible to apply for an award.

Nature of Awards
Awards will normally be extended for another two years subject to progress being deemed satisfactory by the academic department and the Graduate School’s Postgraduate Awards Sub-Committee. If extended, the award would continue to provide a full waiver of fees, a maintenance award at the nationally agreed rate and a research training support grant.
