Eligibility: The following
criteria must be met in order for applicants to be eligible for the
scholarship:

Students
should choose modules totalling up to 60 credits between elective and
core. Some students come into the programme with a Masters degree, or
other exceptional experience, and where appropriate this group may avail
of exemptions to reduce the taught element to a minimum of 30 credits.
Summer Schools can also be used to accumulate credits. Modules may be
taken on a pass/fail basis. We recommend that as far as possible, the
taught element of a structured PhD is frontloaded and completed early in
the programme of study.
Students
registering now should choose their modules in conjunction with their
supervisor, and return details of the suite of taught modules chosen to
the ADR. They should also take care to register in good time for the
modules. Similarly, students applying for exemptions should do so through
the ADR’s office.
