The University of Exeter (UoE) and Nanyang
Technological University (NTU), Singapore are offering six fully funded
postgraduate bursaries to postgraduates keen to undertake collaborative research projects at the two
institutions, leading to PhD degrees to be conferred either by the UoE or NTU. Students pursuing these postgraduate
projects will benefit from the unique opportunity to conduct their research at
both institutions. Students will be registered at one or the other
institution, where they will be based for the majority of their time, but will
spend at least 12 and not more than 18 months at the partner institution over
the duration of the programme. The frequency
and length of stay at each institution will be agreed with successful
candidates prior to offers being made.
All six projects are advertised concurrently
at both institutions and three will be allocated to each institution after the
deadline has passed, based on a collaborative decision made between the UoE and
NTU. The final decision on the successful applicant for each project will be
made by the institution hosting the project. Project allocation will be based
on the applicant’s best fit to a project, following a review of applications
submitted to each institution. Applications to undertake the projects at the UoE and NTU are open to
all nationalities.
The primary host institution will determine
the regulations that will apply to the successful applicant. The student’s main supervisor will be based
at the primary host institution.
