100 PhD funding opportunities at the University of Exeter!The University of Exeter will be awarding funding for over 100 new PhD places for students starting in Autumn 2010. There are opportunities for PhD research in the sciences, social sciences and humanities across the University’s campuses in Exeter and Cornwall. The awards range from full studentships covering all fees and a maintenance grant for three years, to bursaries worth £7,000 a year for three years. Professor Robert Van de Noort, Dean of the Faculty of Graduate Research at the University of Exeter, says, 'Postgraduate study at Exeter is more popular than ever, particularly now the University is recognised as one of the top 10 in the UK. However, we are aware that the cost of postgraduate study can be prohibitive. We are determined to ensure that this does not deter the best students, from the UK and abroad, from pursuing a PhD with us. We believe these studentships will help encourage the most talented students to realise their academic potential here at Exeter.' These studentships will help boost the University of Exeter's growing international reputation for excellent research. In the last Research Assessment Exercise, all subjects were assessed as including world-leading research and nearly 90 per cent of the University’s research was rated as being internationally recognised. The University of Exeter is going through a period of growth, with a planned £450 million investment in campus facilities and an £80 million investment in science, medicine and engineering.
