The School of Business and Management invites applications for Doctoral Research Studentships open to UK and international students. Studentships will be awarded in March 2022 to the most outstanding candidates iapplying for a full-time or part-time PhD programme starting in autumn 2022. Applications will also be considered from students who are currently in the first year of a full-time PhD programme, or the first two years of a part-time programme. In order to be considered for an award, applicants should have (or expect to have by the end of the 2021/22 academic year) a master’s degree or equivalent qualification in an appropriate field.
The research proposals submitted by applicants should normally fit at least one of the School’s five departments: Accounting and Financial , Management, Business Analytics and Applied Economics, Business and Society, Marketing and People and Organisations.
Candidates must specify which department they wish to join and identify potential supervisor(s) on their application form. Candidates are encouraged to discuss their research proposal with a member of academic staff specialising in their research area. For more information on the School’s research see:http://www.busman.qmul.ac.uk/research/index.html
BAME Studentships for UK candidates: We encourage applicants from UK candidates in BAME (Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic) groups who have been previously under-represented in this process. For 2022 entry, the Faculty will be offering two fully funded doctoral studentships (tuition fees and stipend at the UKRI London rate) to UK applicants from a BAME background. Awards are tenable for up to three years. Applications will also be considered from students who are currently in the first year of a full-time PhD programme, or the first two years of a part-time programme.
To be eligible to apply for these studentships you must be UK permanent residents from a BAME background, and eligible to pay home student fees. You will automatically also be considered for our other studentships. Our goal is to recruit outstanding and diverse candidates across the full range of studentships.
STUART HALL FOUNDATION (SHF) / QMUL HSS Principal’s Studentship: The SHF studentship will support PhD applicants (or current PhD students in their first year of study - or the first two years of a part-time programme) that are eligible to pay Home fees and that meet specific eligibility criteria. It requires applicants to fine-tune their statement of purpose to include a description of why they think their project might be suitable for this Studentship, and of what Stuart Hall's 'legacy' might mean to them. They will automatically also be considered for the general awards and, where appropriate, for the BAME awards. The deadline for application is the same as for the HSS Principal’s Studentship.
How to apply: You should apply for your place at QMUL via the online portal by Wednesday 19th January 2022 (17:00).
Before applying, please read our Guidance to Applicants, which will help you to complete your applications. The guidance is relevant to all applicants, regardless of subject area and type of Studentship.
If you wish to apply for the BAME studentships, you should specify this in the statement of purpose that will form part of your application.
SHF/HSS candidates also need to indicate that they wish to be considered for the award, and to state how they meet the eligibility criteria or are subject to exceptional circumstances. These declarations are excluded from the character limit for their statement of purpose.
if you have already applied to QMUL to begin a PhD programme in autumn 2022, you may revise the research proposal and statement of purpose that you previously submitted, to take account of our Guidance to Applicants. .
If you have already begun a PhD programme at QMUL, you should email the School’s Director of Graduate Studies, giving your student ID number and supplying a research proposal and statement of purpose (length and contents as indicated in our Guidance to Applicants).
The Award: The studentships cover all tuition fees, and provide a grant for living expenses at UK Research Council rates for London (c. £17,609 p.a. full-time, £8,804 part-time). Awards are made for the full duration of the period of fee liability for the agreed course. Please note that these awards cannot be deferred.
