PGR Publication Scholarships
The University has committed part of its PGR scholarships budget to fund a number of competitive Publication Scholarships.
These scholarships are to enable registered postgraduate research students to be funded for an additional period following submission in order to refine and reformat key findings from their PGR research for publication. This is to support PGRs to focus on completing their thesis during their tuition fee-paying period, and pursue opportunities for publication after submission.
It was a great learning experience that will surely help me in future when I do collaborative research.
The scholarships are open to all PGR students, regardless of the source of funding for their PhD.
Five rounds of the competition have taken place since September 2021. There have been 111 students awarded funding to date: 23 in Arts & Humanities, 17 in Engineering, 24 in Science, 23 in Social Sciences and 24 in Medicine, Dentistry & Health.
Student feedback has confirmed the value of these scholarships in helping Postgraduate Researchers to pursue opportunities to publish their work and enhance their career prospects.
We have used this opportunity to create a publication that probably would have not happened in other circumstances.
I will be utilizing the skills gained during the publication scholarship to carry forward into my academic career.
This scholarship has enhanced my chances of obtaining a lectureship and given me the confidence to pursue independent research.
