The Ubbo Emmius competitions are funded by the University; there will be no Ubbo Emmius competition in 2012 and the future of the programme is uncertain.
Information about previous rounds:
Ubbo Emmius (UE) PhD scholarships provide students with a generous level of annual funding for a four-year period of PhD study. Between 20-25 scholarships are offered each year to excellent students, on the basis of their talent, motivation and past academic achievements. The application procedure is organized by the GGSS. PhD students funded via this procedure will receive substantial freedom in designing their own projects. In this way, we will provide a unique opportunity for talented, creative and ambitious students to pursue their academic goals. UE scholarship applicants may draw inspiration from suggested project ideas or submit their own independent project proposals. If selected, they are free to change the project aims and supervision scheme to best suit their academic needs. Please contact the Graduate School Office if you have questions about the programme.
