Funding for current research postgraduates

The Graduate School has a number of funding opportunities of its own which are open to current postgraduate students or research staff at the University to support development opportunities including conference attendance, travel to centres of excellence and the development of innovative new training provision.

None of the Graduate School travel prizes/awards are given retrospectively.  The conference/travel date must be after the deadline of your chosen travel prize.

All travel prize/award applications must be submitted by hard copy or in MS Word or PDF format to the  nominated email address for the relevant prize.  It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure the correct format is used.

Internships and placements

Funded by a grant from the European Regional Development Fund, The University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University are working with local public and private sector organisations, giving postgraduates the chance to complete a variety of work-based projects. The projects last 8-12 weeks and typically only demand 6-10 hours per week. Depending on the placement, you could earn up to £1,200.
 

 

One of the great benefits of taking a postgraduate student to work with us is that of the fresh thinking that they bring to the project
