Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) is delighted to announce its next round of scholarships to applicants for PhD research programmes in our five Schools: School of Art; School of Design; ESALA (Architecture and Landscape Architecture); History of Art; and the Reid School of Music.
Our Schools offer a rich and vibrant postgraduate research community with a broad range of academic research interests. ECA is proud of its world-leading research, which stretches across and beyond the disciplines of its five Schools covering Architecture and Landscape Architecture, Art, Design, History of Art, and Music.
Applications are invited for research projects that take advantage of the leading research expertise across the ECA Schools. ECA will aim to provide a supervisory team which will consist of at least two supervisors. Applicants may indicate potential supervisors in their application.
Scholarship award holders are expected to be energetic members of our postgraduate community, and engage with opportunities to present their work to the wider student and staff body during the period covered by their award. We offer our postgraduates a range of training and development opportunities appropriate to their programme of study.
Awards
We are offering three ECA PhD Scholarships, for the sum of £16,000 per year for three years full-time study (for part-time see below), open to new PhD students commencing study in September 2019.
Please note: the award is first used towards meeting the tuition fee costs for the successful applicant and for awards where there is any remaining balance this will be paid to the award holder as a stipend.
Eligibility
Applications for full-time and part-time PhD study will be considered. Awards made to part-time students however will be made pro-rata, therefore £8,000 per year over 6 years of prescribed study.
If wishing to commence a new programme of study in September 2019 you must ensure that you have fully completed and submitted your PhD programme application for admission using the University’s online system by no later than 25th January 2019.
