Two fee-waiver PhD scholarships in either vocal composition or sonic arts are available for UK, EU, and Overseas students whose study starts in October 2015.
The University of Aberdeen has provided excellence in learning and teaching for five hundred years, exporting outstanding graduates and world-shaping ideas from North-east Scotland to the far reaches of the globe.To commemorate the 500th anniversary of our founder, Bishop William Elphinstone, we offer a PhD scholarship programme in memory of his commitment to excellence and "the pursuit of truth in the service of others". This opportunity is offered to high-achieving students looking to begin a PhD programme. Students can be resident in Scotland/EU, rest of UK, and international.
The department of music offers Elphinstone scholarships in either vocal composition (supervisor: Dr Phillip Cooke) or sonic arts/sound design (Supervisor: Dr Suk-Jun Kim).
Students receiving an Elphinstone PhD Scholarship will have their fees waived for each year of their PhD. Applications are now open and those who are interested in applying for the scholarships should refer to the Elphinstone Scholarships for PhD Students.
The date by which the above should be undertaken is 30th April 2015.
