PhD Scholarships in Intellectual Property, Queen Mary University of London, UK

New PhD students undertaking full-time research in the area of Intellectual Property (IP) can apply for a Herchel Smith Scholarship to start in the 2019-20 academic year. The award covers three years of study while in full time enrolment, subject to satisfactory annual progress reports.

The award will cover all tuition fees, whether at the Home/EU rate or the overseas rate. It is therefore open to both UK and non-EU applicants. In addition, an award of around £16,700 per year (reviewed annually) will be paid to the recipient on a regular basis throughout the academic year starting from September 2019.

What are Scholarship holders required to do?
Successful recipients of this award are not required to undertake any teaching or research assistant duties, but they are expected to participate in the Intellectual Property community at Queen Mary University of London.

Who can apply?
The Herchel Smith PhD Scholarship Programme recognises and supports exceptional full-time students who show the potential to make an outstanding contribution to intellectual property law. This programme supports PhD students in intellectual property law and those working at the intersection of intellectual property law and other areas of sciences and humanities.

The award is for new applicants who will enrol at the start of the coming academic year, in September 2019. Therefore, current PhD students who enrolled prior to September 2019 are not eligible to apply for the award.

Also, applicants should note that our PhD programme only has one entry point each year – in September. Given that most LLM courses in the UK end with graduation in November (and that entry onto our PhD programme is dependent upon applicants obtaining a certain grade on their LLM, so as to meet our academic entry requirements), this means current LLM students who will graduate in November 2019 could only begin their studies with us in September 2020, and thus aren’t eligible to apply for this award this coming year (unless they have previously graduated from an LLM degree taken earlier).
