  • School Funding Opportunities

    Some Schools in Queen's may have studentships / bursaries available outside the centrally allocated awards.   Applicants should ensure that they check the School websites for details of available School funding.

  • North-South Postgraduate Scholarships

    The aim of this scheme is to encourage outstanding students from the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland to cross the border to undertake postgraduate study and experience life in the other Irish jurisdiction. 

    Each year, Universities Ireland offers four scholarships, each worth €15,000, to students who have been accepted to undertake a recognised Master’s Degree or are entering the first year of a PhD programme at a university in the island of Ireland that is not in the same jurisdiction as the university where they have previously studied.

    The closing date for receipt of applications is normally early May.  For further details please visit Universities Ireland website for further details, application form and applicant guidance notes: http://universitiesireland.ie/northsouth-postgraduate-scholarships/

The award is not automatically renewable however a student may reapply in consecutive years.

  • ESRC NINE DTP

    Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)

    Northern Ireland and North East Doctoral Training Partnership (NINE DTP)

    Queen’s University is delighted to announce its new Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) for Social Sciences funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC).   The new NINE DTP is an exciting collaboration with seven partner institutions - Queen’s University Belfast, University of Newcastle, Durham University, Ulster University, University of Northumbria, University of Sunderland and Teesside University. We are offering over fifty fully-funded studentships per year to outstanding postgraduate researchers in the social sciences.

    The ESRC NINE DTP runs a single, combined annual studentship competition to recruit and select Postgraduate students of the very highest calibre.  NINE DTP operates an open competition for the awarding of studentships which is centred on the quality of candidates and their proposed research.

    Types of studentship available include:

    • +3 years for students who have completed a masters
    • 1+3 years for students who have not yet completed a masters
    • +3.5 years for students who have completed a masters but lack the required core research methods training

  • The Higginson Leadership Award

    The Higginson Leadership Award was founded by a gift in 1954 from Wing-Commander John S Higginson, MA, CBE, OBE, who lived at Ballyward Lodge near Castlewellan in Co Down.  Wing-Commander Higginson was an RAF veteran of the Second World War, whose post-war activities became increasingly philanthropic in nature, focusing in particular on improving services and facilities for the youth of Northern Ireland.   Wing-Commander Higginson died in November 2000, but the award has been re-launched by his nephew and heir Andrew Higginson OBE, who has assumed the role of Trustee.  Andrew Higginson is Director of Higginson Associates Ltd, London-based Consultants in Conflict Resolution, Disaster Relief and Humanitarian Assistance.

    The purpose of the award is to encourage a sense of social responsibility and inspirational leadership among students and alumni of the University, and to support stand alone activities or ventures, rather than extending the students own studies or participation in projects already established by others, which will demonstrate initiative and the ability to inspire or act as a role model for others.  Preference will be given to projects or proposals involving developmental or humanitarian aid overseas, in a post-conflict environment.  

    Applicants must either be enrolled Queen’s students or Queen's alumni at the time of application.  

    Awards made are normally in the region of £300 - £1800.

    Students who have received the Higginson Leadership Award in recent years have led teams on projects to build resource centres and help impoverished communities in Romania, Kenya, Bolivia, Thailand, Uganda and Mostar in many interesting and beneficial ways.

    This award is normally advertised in January with a closing date in May.

    Further details and application forms may be downloaded from the web http://www.qub.ac.uk/dasa/AcademicAffairs/ or obtained by emailing a request to aascholarships@qub.ac.uk.

    Awards are subject to funding availability.
