Description:

The Division of English Studies at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China 
operates in collaboration with its home school from Nottingham, the School of 
English Studies, one of the oldest and most prestigious schools of English in the 
UK. The Centre for Research in Applied Linguistics (CRAL) brings together 
research across both the Division and the Home School, allowing interdisciplinary 
work of the highest standard.  CRAL offers an unrivalled research environment 
which encourages a unique synergy between the context of our location in China 
and research practice in English Studies 

The Division of English Studies is advertising a doctoral scholarship in any field

years in the Division of English Studies in China and one year in the School of
