PhD/DPhil Studentship in Russian Studies (Oxford)

Deadline: 18 May 2007

Programme of Study

Doctoral awards provide support for up to three years of full-time study, or up to five years of part-time study, to enable you to pursue and complete a programme of doctoral research and gain a doctoral degree.

In exceptional cases, we will also allow students studying full-time to apply for up to four years' support and those studying part-time to apply for up to seven years' support. The eligibility criteria for this additional period of funding are outlined in Section 3 of the Guide for Applicants for Postgraduate Awards in the Arts and Humanities: The Doctoral Awards Scheme.

In awarding studentships for doctoral research, we assume that a doctoral thesis is a piece of work that:

*exhibits substantial evidence of original scholarship and contains material that can be prepared for publication, and
*can be produced by a capable, well-qualified and diligent student, properly supervised and supported, within the period of award.

Following the 2002 Review of the Postgraduate Programme, the AHRC has developed a framework of research training requirements for doctoral award holders. Full details can be found in Section 4 and Appendix B of the Guide for Applicants.

We expect full-time award holders to submit their doctoral thesis within four years of the start of their award. Part-time students should submit their thesis within seven years.
We accept applications from any UK HEI recognised and funded by one of the four UK higher education funding councils and from institutions whose postgraduate courses are validated by a recognised UK HEI.
