Development Fund  Each year, postgraduate students within the College of Arts and Law are eligible to apply for funding specifically for new research activity or to enhance existing activity. This funding could for example be used for: - Conferences - Workshops - Field trips

Support Fund  The funding can cover anything from travel and accommodation to photocopying and books, and has proved to be a real help to our past and current doctoral researchers. All Postgraduate Students (on taught and research programmes) are eligible to apply.  Applications are prioritised in the following way:  Applications that demonstrate significant added value to the applicant’s degree (e.g. giving a paper at a conference of international standing, the use of an archive that is of intrinsic value to the student’s research project etc)  Applications from students presenting a paper at a conference  Applications for conference attendance only
