PhD Studentship from (Postgraduate Scholarship from Dorothy Hodgkin )

Here is the information of International scholarship that you are looking for. This is Postgraduate Scholarship from Dorothy Hodgkin. Are you interested in this international sholarship? Read more information below:

Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Award
PhD Studentship in Mechanical Engineering - University of Leeds
Turbo-charged engines research
School of Mechanical Engineering
Value of Award: Maintenance Stipend for a maximum period of 3 years (£12,940 for Session 2008/09), full overseas rate fees and a Research Training Support Grant

Number Available: One

Closing Date: Extended to 15 April 2009

Minimum Academic Requirements: A very good first degree (equivalent to a UK first class honours degree) from a prestigious institution in a relevant discipline such as Engineering, Mathematics or Physics (a lower rated BSc with a Masters will not normally be accepted as the equivalent of a UK first class honours degree). Candidates must also meet the University’s English language requirements.

Additional Information: The Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Awards are a national initiative to bring outstanding students from India, Brazil, China, Hong Kong, Russia, South Africa and the developing world to the UK to study for PhD degrees in top-rated research environments. The eligible countries are those listed in Part 1 on the OECD website: http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/35/9/2488552.pdf

This award is provided by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Council (www.epsrc.ac.uk) and MAHLE Powertrain Ltd (www.mahle-powertrain.com) and is available for a research project in the area of:

Turbo-charged engines research

Spark Ignition engine downsizing, through the use of high boost pressures (turbocharging) has significant impact on engine efficiency/CO2 emissions. However, at present there is inadequate knowledge of the burn rate and auto-ignition/knock characteristics at such conditions. This is particularly so for potential second generation biofuels (e.g. ethanol and butanol blends). The study will provide necessary knowledge by employing unique high pressure/temperature/optical access fan-stirred combustion vessels and optically accessed engines. Experimental work will be backed up by theoretical analysis of combustion rates and instabilities.

Further details about the research carried out in the School of Mechanical Engineering can be found at http://www.engineering.leeds.ac.uk/mech/research/

- International scholarships

75 University of Brighton international scholarships worth a reduction of £2,000 off the cost of your tuition fees for each year of your course are available to outstanding new, full-time international undergraduate and postgraduate taught degree students. In 2007-8 students from over twenty five different countries received our scholarships.
Criteria

The criteria for awarding University of Brighton international scholarships are primarily merit-based.
Merit does not necessarily have to mean academic merit but could also be interpreted to include outstanding performance in a variety of spheres.
The strongest candidates will be those demonstrating a mixture of academic merit (including English language ability) and other merit or outstanding achievement in a particular field of activity.
You will also need to demonstrate that you have sufficient funds to pay the remainder of the fees.
Eligibility

In order to be eligible to apply for a scholarship you must be a new, full-time undergraduate or postgraduate taught degree international student with a minimum course duration of 1 year, and must have applied for the course of your choice at the University of Brighton, and have been offered a place on that course for 2008 entry.

Students studying foundation degrees or undergraduate degrees at University of Brighton partner colleges are not eligible for these awards. Existing international students are not eligible unless starting a new undergraduate or postgraduate programme.
How to apply

For the 2008 academic year, please email international@brighton.ac.uk, with your applicant or UCAS number in the subject line, and we will send you a scholarship application pack.
Deadline for application

Requests for scholarship application forms will be considered from 1 October 2007 for 2008 entry. The deadline for receiving scholarship applications back is 31 July 2008. Before that date, applications will be processed on a monthly quota basis once a scholarship application pack has been received by the university. Decisions about successful scholarship awards will be processed by the individual faculties, but will be administered centrally by the International Office, Registry. You are advised to apply as early as possible after you have received our offer, as the number of scholarships is limited. Please note any accompanying documentation will not be returned.

If you have any questions about these scholarships please contact the university's International Office for advice.
