WBS Tops ESRC Studentship Awards List

Warwick Business School has been allocated 12 ESRC (Economic and Social Research Council) studentships for the two year period 2006 - 2008 for our MA degrees and PhD programme, exceeding the number awarded to any of our competitors, including London and Lancaster business schools.

Margaret Drazin, MA Programme Manager, said "This is really good news for our next intake of students. For anyone who is thinking of applying for a place on our programmes but has not yet done so, the message is ... 'Apply now! - and with a research concept in mind.'"

The studentships may be for three or four years to support study on the Doctoral Programme or MA and Doctoral programmes combined.

Part of the mission of the ESRC is to support postgraduate training in the social sciences.
