We will make an initial conditional nomination after reviewing expressions of interest.
The nominated candidate will then need to apply for the MPhil/PhD Philosophy in the usual way and receive and accept an offer of admission in order for the funding to be confirmed.
Your expression of interest must include:
- A statement outlining your proposed research topic (around 1500 words). An effective proposal will show awareness of the current state of the philosophical literature in the relevant area and will explain how your work will advance the literature.
- An explanation of how your project aligns with the mission of the Centre (around 300 words).
- Your CV.
- Confirmation that you understand that the scholarship is for study on the MPhil/PhD in Philosophy and that, if your proposal is selected, you will still need to apply for the MPhil/PhD in Philosophy in the usual way, meet all admission requirements, and receive and accept an offer of admission.
Submitting an expression of interest is free of charge.
