Faculty of Arts: conference funding for postgraduate researchers

Postgraduate research students who require financial support for either a conference they wish to attend or for a research trip are eligible to apply for funding from the Conference/Research Fund. Students can apply for funding to help cover such costs as transport, accommodation and registration fees.

Given the volume of applications, a maximum of £250 per application is specified. You are permitted to make up to 2 applications to the fund per academic year, (pro rata for part-time students so 1 application and priority consideration may be given to students applying for funding for the first time over students that have received support previously). Please note: The academic year relates to the budget year which is 1 August to 31 July each year.

Note: PGRs who need to travel to undertake research or attend a conference whether in the UK or abroad, will need to follow the same procedure as staff in order to gain approval from the university. What is required depends on whether the travel is domestic or international, and there'll need to be a clear requirement for the travel to take place.
