Larmour University Studentships

Applications are invited for Larmor-University Studentships.

These studentships were founded in 1943 under the will of Sir Joseph Larmor, FRS, for the purpose of augmenting the emoluments otherwise held by specially deserving students. They have since been supplemented from University funds and are therefore now called Larmor-University Awards.

To be eligible for consideration, candidates must meet the following criteria:

(i) have obtained, not more than three years previously, a good honours degree from any institution; and
(ii) hold another award from the University or from some other source; and
(iii) be enrolled or intend to enrol at Queen's as full-time or part-time postgraduate students for research on an approved course.

Students who have not yet fulfilled all the conditions of eligibility but who expect to do so before the date upon which the studentships will be awarded are encouraged to apply.

The value of the award will depend on the funds available, but will be such that, when added to the other awards held, the total does not exceed the value of a government-financed postgraduate studentship. In recent years the awards have been in the region of £2,000 - £3,000.
