As part of the White Rose Doctoral Training Centre, we are offering 2 scholarships on the sociology training pathway for students wishing to study for a PhD in the Department of Sociological Studies. ESRC Scholarships provide an annual bursary of £13,590, Home/EU tuition fees and a contribution to research expenses. These scholarships are available on a 1+3 (MA+PhD) or a +3 basis (PhD). 1+3: is a four year registration where you would undertake the MA in Sociological Research and upon completion transfer to three year registration for MPhil/PhD           +3: if you already have an ESRC research training recognised MA, then application for the +3 studentships is appropriate. This is a three year award for students intending to study for their PhD only. The White Rose Doctoral Training Centre (DTC), is a major new collaboration between the Universities of Leeds, Sheffield and York with a total of 48 ESRC studentships per year over 5 years. The White Rose DTC is one of the largest consortia in the country and offers a wealth of supervisory expertise across the social sciences as well as numerous training opportunities, particularly focused upon maximizing the social and economic benefits of your research.
