A few postgraduate fellowships at the University of Edinburgh

[Alexandra Smith]

Dear colleagues,

I'm enclosing below two adverts for various postgraduate fellowships  
enabling to
study at the
University of Edinburgh.
Naturally, as member of the Russian department and contributor to the
programme of film studies, I would like to encourage applications that
cover Russian studies (cultural studies, linguistics,
interdisciplinary studies, literature, critical theory, history of
ideas and comparartive studies).
Please feel free to distribute it further.

All best,
Alexandra Smith

LLC School Scholarships

Applications are invited from highly qualified applicants who wish to
commence PhD study
in the School of LLC in September 2007.

These three year awards will cover home rate fees only. International
students may apply
on the understanding that they must pay the difference between the
home and overseas rate
themselves. Although our normal entrance requirement for admission is
an honours BA at
upper second class or equivalent, it is envisaged that the competition
for these awards
will be such that applicants should have a first class Bachelors
degree and are likely to
have, or be expecting to gain, an excellent Masters degree.

The deadline for applications is 1 June 2007. Application forms,
together with 2
confidential references and your full research proposal, should be
submitted by that
date, as indicated on the form.

Scottish & Newcastle Baltika Scholarships for Russia



Four scholarships are available to students of Russian birth who have
been accepted at
the University of Edinburgh on a full-time postgraduate degree
programme in any subject
offered by the University. For the 2007-2008 academic session two of
the four awards will
be awarded to applicants who are applying to undertake a
business-related course. Each
scholarship will be worth £20,000 which will be used towards tuition
fees, research
costs, books, travel to and from Russia and general living costs.

These four scholarships are being offered as part of a five year
commitment made by
Scottish & Newcastle plc to fund up to 12 awards for Russian scholars.


One further scholarship will be awarded in 2007-2008 to a Russian
citizen who has
graduated from the State Institute of International Relations
(University), Moscow. This
additional award is available to applicants who are accepted for
admission on a full-time
basis for any postgraduate Master's programme of study at the
University of Edinburgh.

Eligibility

The scholarships will be awarded to Russian citizens who have
undertaken a first degree
in Russia and who are accepted for admission on a full-time basis for
a postgraduate
degree programme at the University of Edinburgh - MSc, MBA, MPhil, PhD
or a Postgraduate
Certificate in Education (PGCE).

Applicants should already have been offered a place at the University
of Edinburgh and
should have firmly accepted that offer or be intending to do so.

The scholarship will be awarded on the basis of academic merit with
candidates requiring
the equivalent of a first-class honours degree or upper second-class
honours degree from
a Russian university.
