The University of Strathclyde and the University of Glasgow are jointly offering Mac Robertson Scholarship
for UK/EU and overseas students. Scholarship is available for
postgraduate research students (PhD or Masters by Research) to undertake
a course of study lasting between two months and one year at a centre
of advanced study preferably, although not necessarily, outwith
Scotland. An individual scholarship will last for up to a maximum of one
year from the date of the award (normally from the June of the award
year) or from another date chosen by the Selection
Panel. The application deadline is 12 May 2014.
About Scholarship: The University of Strathclyde and the University of Glasgow are proud to jointly offer the Mac Robertson Scholarship. Each scholar will be required to produce a report on his/her studies under the scholarship. The purpose of these reports is to show how the scholarship has enhanced scholars’ research experience and provide Mac Robertson, our donor, with an update on his investment.
Study: Scholarships are available to research students from any academic discipline. Course Level: Scholarships are available for postgraduate research students (PhD or Masters by Research) to undertake a course of study lasting between two months and one year at a centre of advanced study preferably, although not necessarily, outwith Scotland. Scholarship Provider: The University of Strathclyde and the University of Glasgow Scholarship can be taken at: UK
Eligibility:
-Scholarship is open to all Home/EU/Overseas postgraduate research students (PhD or Masters by Research) currently registered at the Universities of Glasgow and/or Strathclyde.
-Available to research students from any academic discipline.
-Open to high quality students who have (in the opinion of the Selection Panel) already shown academic distinction and promise during the term of their research studies.
-Collaborative research between Glasgow and Strathclyde is advantageous but not essential.
-Students would not normally be awarded the Scholarship within six months of starting or within six months of submitting their PhD.
Scholarship Open for: Home/EU/Overseas students can apply for this postgraduate travel scholarship.
Duration: An individual scholarship will last for up to a maximum of one year from the date of the award (normally from the June of the award year) or from another date chosen by the Selection Panel.
Value: The Scholarship award will consist of travel costs plus subsistence up to a maximum level of £60 per day, including accommodation costs. This level is based on subsistence allowances for University of Glasgow employees abroad. The number and value of the awards allocated each year will be at the discretion of the Panel. Individual Scholarships are unlikely to exceed £4,000.
Selection Criteria: The prestigious Mac Robertson Scholarship is hotly contested and a high number of applications are received each year. The following will be taken into account when assessing applications:
-Eligibility – the scholar must comply with all eligibility criteria.
-The research to be undertaken should be additional to and not essential to the completion of the applicant’s research degree.
-Evidence of collaboration between Strathclyde and Glasgow in the research being carried out would be advantageous.
-Evidence of an innovative proposal and/or initiative taken by the student to build relationships with international experts or forge links with world class facilities.
-Evidence that the proposed project/travel would benefit the applicant’s School/Research Institute.
-Clear evidence of communication with the host institution (e.g. welcome letter/letter of endorsement).
Apply: Electronic submission is essential. Hard copy applications will not be accepted. Applicants must indicate how their current research is being funded (i.e. University scholarship, RCUK etc), to enable the Selection Panel to have a better understanding of the student’s financial situation. Students in receipts of external funding are still eligible to apply.
Deadline: The application deadline is 12 May 2014.
