About the awards

The College of Social Sciences and International Studies at the University of Exeter is pleased to be offering a number of Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) funded 1+3 or +3 studentships, including any collaborative projects, as part of the South West Doctoral Training Centre for entry in 2015-16.

Within the DTC, the College of Social Sciences and International Studies is currently inviting applications for a broad-range of ESRC-facing research that falls within our subject areas:

• Arab and Islamic Studies
• Education
• Law
• Politics and International Studies
• Sociology, Philosophy and Anthropology
• Security Studies

For eligible UK/EU students the full time studentship will cover fees and an annual Research Council stipend of approximately £13,863 (2014-15 rate) for up to three years (+3 award) or four years (1+3 award).

For the 1+3 studentships we would require you to register initially on a relevant Masters programme, as specified in the award advert.

For the +3 studentships we would require you to register on a PhD programme in one of our disciplines with the aim of conducting research in an area that aligns with the work of the ESRC.
