The University of Nottingham Graduate School, which administers the
scholarships, also runs an event which hopes to promote the
scholarships, and the opportunities and benefits that such a scheme
brings. A workshop takes place in March each year when talks are
given by the Dean of the Graduate School and a member of the
International Office together with a number of past participants of the
scheme who will talk about their experiences both in terms of the
arrangements and the visit itself.
In addition to aiding our recruiting efforts, this programme will also benefit doctoral students seeking academic careers. Students will have an opportunity to give a seminar presentation and meet with faculty at another university, an experience similar to what they may expect for an academic interview. The specific arrangements for the visit are best left to negotiation at the local level by the student and a faculty member at their alma mater. VPR will reimburse travel expenses for one doctoral student, per department, per year until funds are exhausted. Airfare, mileage, overnight lodging, and meals will be reimbursed up to $1,000. Each year the program will be assessed to determine its impact on the quality of the incoming graduate students to decide whether it should be continued. Click here for further details.
If your university offers graduate travel schemes which are not listed here, please contact Clare Noakes in the U21 Secretariat with information to be included. |
