Programme Closing Date: 7 February 2013
The International Centre for Music Studies (ICMuS) at Newcastle is part of the School of Arts and Cultures. We have excellent postgraduate facilities including: a brand new suite of dedicated electro-acoustic and recording studios; practice rooms and concert hall; orchestral and percussion instruments; a substantial collection of recordings and musicological documents; full online access to over 100 music journals and online collections, including Alexander Street Press, the Folk Archive Resource North East and the Garland Encyclopaedia of World Music; and a new £4.5 million music building providing state-of-the-art studio and practice facilities.
For 2013 entry we will be awarding at least three studentships in Music through the AHRC's Doctoral Awards scheme. This scheme provides studentships to enable students to undertake and complete a doctoral degree (PhD).
Home (UK) students and those EU students who have been resident in the UK for a minimum of three years are eligible for a full award comprising fees and an annual, tax free stipend of £13,590 (2012/13 rates). Other EU students are eligible for a fees-only award. To see if you would be eligible for a full or fees only award, please refer to the AHRC's residency eligibility criteria in Annex A of the AHRC Studentship Funding Guide (PDF: 500KB).
