Postgraduate research fund
Postgraduate research fund candidates can apply for funding to support their research program supplementary research costs (for costs incurred in pursuing new or additional aspects of the research project). These costs might include:
- community consultation costs
- production of creative works
- supplementary fieldwork
- supplementary visits to off-campus libraries or archives
- visits to research laboratories with the intention of acquiring additional research skills
- purchase of small items of equipment not normally supplied by the department or school.
These costs might include travel to an international conference, where the applicant has had a paper or a poster presentation accepted, or a visit to an overseas laboratory with the intention of acquiring additional research skills
Being awarded the research travel grant to the Netherlands enabled me to successfully set up my PhD as a cotutelle degree. As a result, I will be awarded a double degree from two partnered universities, enriching my academic experience and networks as well as providing an international learning experience.
