Elite Doctoral Researcher Scholarships 2012-2013 Dear colleagues The  
University Graduate School is pleased to announce that it has ten  
Elite Doctoral Researcher Scholarships available for the 2012-2013  
academic year.
The Scholarships are available to outstanding overseas candidates of  
the highest academic aptitude holding an offer of a place to study on  
a PhD at the University of Birmingham starting in October 2012.
Candidates from the Colleges of Arts and Law, Life and Environmental  
Sciences, Medical and Dental Sciences, Engineering and Physical  
Sciences, and Social Sciences are eligible to be considered for these  
awards.
A successful applicant will typically be top of their cohort of  
undergraduate students. The applicant’s profile of marks will be  
exemplary (equivalent to high first class with no marks in the IIi  
equivalent category or below). The quality of the institution should  
be judged by world university rankings. Applicants could already have  
research published in international journals as a result of Masters  
level research for instance. Their references will attest to qualities  
of academic achievement or research potential that make the candidates  
stand out above their peers. They may have won prizes within their  
institution, or even international prizes.
The Scholarship is conditional on nominated candidates achieving a  
first class mark (or equivalent) in their final examinations before  
beginning their PhD at the University of Birmingham.
Potential candidates should be nominated by their School or College.   
School nominations should be forwarded to the College PGR Lead by 13th  
January 2012.  A College selection panel should then meet to shortlist  
candidates (no more than 5) to be considered by the University  
selection panel. Colleges are asked to send a rank ordered list of  
candidates and provide a paragraph describing the strengths of the  
application together with the accompanying supporting documentation to  
the University Graduate School by 3rd February 2012.
For more information about this opportunity please see the attached  
Guidance Notes.  Nomination forms (to be completed by Schools/Colleges  
only), Guidance Notes and Scholarship Terms and Conditions documents  
are available at:
