Postgraduate Studentships in Modern Greek Studies 2008-9

Thanks to a generous grant from the A G Leventis Foundation, three postgraduate studentships are available for students who wish to pursue a full-time higher degree programme (MPhil, MPhil(b) or PhD) in the fields of Modern Greek (including Cypriot) literature, language, history and culture. Candidates should have a first class or upper second class degree (or equivalent) in a relevant subject. To apply for PhD candidates should also have completed, or be completing, a master’s degree in a relevant subject. Applicants will be asked to provide a detailed research proposal, two references and a transcript of qualifications.

Prospective candidates may contact Professor Dimitris Tziovas (email d.p.tziovas@bham.ac.uk) for advice on research topics for which supervision is available. The MPhil(b) is a research degree with taught elements. Further Information on Modern Greek Studies at the University of Birmingham can be found at: http://www.iaa.bham.ac.uk/bomg/index.htm

The studentships will cover University fees only (at the rate applicable to UK and EU students) and may be renewed annually subject to a satisfactory progress report. Subsistence costs will not be covered.
