The competition for Chancellor's Scholarships (formerly WPRS) for entry in October 2012 has now opened. The Graduate School expects to award around 45 Chancellor's Scholarships. Awards made for entry in October 2012 may include payment of fees at the Home/EU rate and a maintenance grant in line with the UK Research Council stipend (£13,590 for full-time award holders in 2011-12).

All eligible overseas students applying for a Chancellor's Scholarship will also be considered for a Chancellor's International Scholarship, which pays the full overseas fee, by using a single application for both competitions. Details of eligibility and how to apply for the scholarships are available on the Graduate School Scholarships website.

Candidates applying for the PhD in Employment Research are eligible to apply for the Chancellor's Scholarships, and should discuss their interest in applying for this funding with the Department at the earliest opportunity.
