Scholarships and funding

The University and Edinburgh Law School offer a range of scholarships for our research degrees. There are also a selection of external funding opportunities that you may be eligible to apply to. Scholarship and funding opportunities listed on this web page are for entry in the 2024-25 academic year.

If you are intending to apply for a scholarship offered by the Law School or University we advise applying to your programme (PhD or LLM by Research) at least two weeks before the scholarship closing date.

Deadline: 20th May 2024

Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD position on a project entitled “Taming the Dark Energy of EU Law: The European Union’s Unwritten Constitution”. The successful applicant will work with Professor Niamh Nic Shuibhne at Edinburgh Law School.

Taming the Dark Energy of EU Law is a Leverhulme Trust-funded four-year project. It explores the unwritten constitution produced by the specific and essential characteristics of the EU and of EU law that are not expressly present in the EU Treaties, including primacy, mutual trust, and autonomy. It adopts a dark energy metaphor to underline that these specific and essential characteristics expanded to fill empty Treaty spaces, establishing the deep structure of EU law and propelling its significance while remaining, for the most part, textually invisible – a constitutional energy detected, but not yet well understood.

The project studies the EU’s unwritten constitution in a holistic way, building on perspectives that discuss, and question, the extent to which the internal and external spheres of EU action are (and should) be legally distinct. In this way, it aims to retune the relationship between the written and unwritten dimensions of EU constitutional law to improve internal and external accountability.

The PhD will be carried out under the lead supervision of the Principal Investigator, Professor Niamh Nic Shuibhne.

Complementing the work of a postdoctoral researcher on the EU as an international subject , the PhD researcher will examine how the EU as an international actor is ‘trading’ its specific and essential characteristics through its engagement with the wider world and assess the appropriateness of such external sharing through a case-study method. The PhD project will be guided by the project’s overarching themes (invisibility, accountability, and shareability) but enable the researcher to develop their own thesis ideas and especially the originality and significance of their findings and arguments over the course of the studentship.

This opportunity is open to candidates in law, with particular emphasis on prior study of the legal dimensions of EU external action.

This scholarship will pay tuition fees and provide an annual stipend in line with UKRI rates (approximately £19,237 per annum). The stipend will be paid in equal monthly instalments for 3.5 years, subject to satisfactory progress. Additional research funding will also be available to support training and development.

Candidate profile

The successful applicant will have:

• Excellent grades in both undergraduate and postgraduate taught degrees (at least one of which must be in law).
• A background, or clear demonstrable interest, in EU constitutional law and the legal dimensions of the EU’s external action.
• Proficiency in English (both oral and written). For candidates whose first language is not English, we require an overall IELTS score of 7.0 with at least 7.0 in the writing component and 6.5 in each of the other components (or other acceptable English language qualification at the equivalent standard).
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills.

Application Information

Applicants should apply via the University’s admissions portal (EUCLID) and select the PhD Law programme.  Apply here.

Applications should be submitted by 5pm on 20th May 2024 . Interviews will take place (online) on 20th June. The successful applicant will be expected to start the PhD in September 2024.

Applicants must submit:

• All degree transcripts and certificates (and certified translations if applicable).
• Evidence of English Language capability (where applicable).
• A short research proposal (max 2 pages) outlining your approach to the proposed research project (focus on identifying research questions for your proposed thesis and explaining why these questions matter).
• A full CV cover letter describing your background, suitability for the PhD, and research interests (max 2 pages).
• Two recent references (note that it is your responsibility to ensure that reference letters are received before the deadline).

Please note that the proposal, CV, and cover letter should be uploaded as a single, combined document within the application portal.

Only complete applications (i.e. those that are not missing the above documentation) will progress forward to the academic selectors for further consideration.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is an area of AI operating at the intersections of computer science, linguistics, and interaction design that has rapidly jumped from the research lab to routine deployment in-the-world. Mature NLP systems offer powerful capabilities to create new products, services, and interactive experiences grounded in natural language, and underpin much of the current excitement around generative AI. However, they also bring significant challenges to responsible and trustworthy design, adoption and deployment.

Our students will gain the skills, knowledge and experience to study and design real-world applications of NLP that are responsible and trustworthy by design, in a highly interdisciplinary training environment hosted by the new Edinburgh Futures Institute. The training programme brings together world leading researchers at the University of Edinburgh in informatics, design, linguistics, speech science, psychology, law, philosophy, information science, and digital humanities, who will supervise students and guide them in their training and learning.

The CDT will be seeking to fund up to 12 studentships to start next academic year. We are looking for applicants with background in or related to:

• Computer science, informatics and artificial intelligence
• Design, human computer interaction and human centred computing
• Language, linguistics and speech sciences
• Law, governance and regulation
• Digital Humanities and Information Science

These are just indicative, and we are interested in applicants who come from any background or discipline with relevant skills and expertise that connect to our five Skills Domains. Our ambition is to recruit a diverse cohort of students coming from different disciplines and backgrounds, who are excited by the prospects of working with each-other and on real-world applications of NLP.

To find out more information on the programme, funding available and its benefits take a look at the CDT website.

One or more scholarships are available for postgraduate research in Scots private law at the University of Edinburgh for a period of one year leading to the degree of LLM by Research (ie by a thesis of up to 30,000 words). The scholarships are offered by the Edinburgh Legal Education Trust, which was formed in 1996 for the advancement of legal education in Scotland. The Trustees wish to award a scholarship or scholarships for study beginning in September 2024. 

Eligibility

The scholarships are open to anyone who, by the start of the LLM programme, holds an honours degree in law, or an ordinary degree in law plus an honours degree in a different discipline, and who is accepted by the University of Edinburgh for the degree of LLM by Research. Further details about postgraduate study at Edinburgh may be obtained from the Postgraduate Office, School of Law ( www.law.ed.ac.uk). An application to the Trust may be made in advance of being accepted by the University of Edinburgh.

Choice of topic

Applicants are free to choose their own topic. The emphasis, however, should be on legal doctrine rather than on, for example, legal theory or socio-legal issues. Historical or comparative perspectives are welcome. Two possible research projects (one on contract law and the other on the law of delict) can be found here and applicants are welcome to choose, or adapt, one of those. 

Progression to the PhD

The LLM by Research can (but need not) be used as a gateway to further study for the degree of PhD. Indeed it is often possible to treat the LLM as the first year of study for a PhD by switching to the PhD degree during the year spent on the LLM. For students who make this switch, funding for the full three years of the PhD will often be made available by the Edinburgh Legal Education Trust.

Value 

The scholarship comprises fees at home students’ rate and a maintenance award (currently £18,622). In addition, a limited amount of assistance may be given by the Trust in respect of research expenses, but this will not normally exceed £400 in a year. Fees will be paid by the Trust directly to the University of Edinburgh. The maintenance allowance will be paid in four equal instalments on 15 September, 15 December, 15 March and 15 June.

Applications and closing date

Candidates must first apply for admission to the Law LLM by Research Programme. Further details on how to apply can be found on our website.

Once you have applied for admission to the Programme, please complete the Edinburgh Legal Education Trust Scholarship Application Form and send it to [email protected] by the closing date of 6 May 2024.

The Edinburgh Futures Institute’s Centre for Technomoral Futures and Edinburgh Law School are delighted to invite applications for this PhD studentship, funded by Baillie Gifford, to begin in the academic year 2024/2025. 

These studentships, which are open to UK, EU and international applicants, will support rigorous interdisciplinary PhD research into the ethical challenges posed by the growing use of data and artificial intelligence.

Deadline: 5pm Monday 18 December 2023 

Supervisors:

• Dr Emily Postan, Edinburgh Law School
• Secondary supervisor, to be confirmed 

The Project 

The project will address the ethical significance of new and reconfigured health-related categories - such as diagnoses, disease risk, or precision care profiles - generated by machine learning (ML), beyond their utility for their intended clinical purposes. It will explore the ways in which these ML-generated health categories do, or could, function as ways – for example – of identifying and distinguishing groups of people, or conceptualising health and (dis)ability, in wider social contexts. The project will take a normative approach to these questions. In doing so, it will not only identify and characterise particular social roles of ML-generated categories, but also why these roles are significant from ethical or social justice perspectives. For example, it could ask how these categories might:

• contribute to addressing, or exacerbating, health inequalities;
• affect social cohesion or solidarity;
• reshape public health priorities, institutions, or environments; or
• generate new, or deconstruct existing, axes of power, discrimination, or oppression. 

It will consider how to weigh social impacts (such as those suggested in the indicative list above) alongside the intended or hoped-for health benefits of ML applications. And it will explore how associated risks and benefits might be managed through mechanisms such as the design, ethical oversight, or regulation of healthcare applications of ML. 

This project will make explicit the need to look beyond existing dominant themes in health AI ethics, such as clinical reliability safety, explicability, and trustworthiness, to take in wider relational and social considerations. It will contribute to AI ethics more broadly, by offering a richer range of ways to think about what ‘good’ and ‘bad’ ML-generated categories might look like, and by highlighting ways in which domain-specific applications of AI could have socially pervasive ramifications. 

Funding  

The studentship is open to home, EU and international students. The award includes:

• 4 years stipend at UKRI rates (estimated to be in the region of £18,622 for 2024/25);
• tuition fees;
• annual research support budget of £2,000. 

All scholarship awards are subject to candidates successfully securing admission to a PhD programme within the University of Edinburgh. 

Candidate Profile  

Applicants may come from a range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary backgrounds.

• A strong academic track record with a 2:1 or higher in a relevant undergraduate degree, or its equivalent if outside the UK; and a Masters degree with at least 60% in the taught component and 65% in the dissertation (or international equivalent).
• Experience of prior study or experience in bioethics, or other domains of applied ethics relevant to this project, ideally to a postgraduate level.
• A demonstrable interest in, and knowledge of, ethical, social, legal, and governance issues relating to healthcare, public health, health data, or health technologies.
• An ability to communicate effectively orally, in writing, and through social media for various audiences (e.g. academic publications, practitioners and policy-makers, users of services).
• Prior study or experience in data science, digital methods, and/or innovative methods is desirable, but not essential. 

They will also:

• Demonstrate an ability to manage self and workload within competing deadlines.
• Demonstrate a strong interest in multidisciplinary research, teaching, and collaboration with partners within and beyond academia.
• Demonstrate an ability to work with people in different roles and organisations.

University of Edinburgh announces new scholarship for female African master’s students

A new University of Edinburgh scholarship is now up for grabs for two female African students: the Catto Combined MSc and PhD Scholarships . Provided by the Centre of African Studies, the programme will start in September 2022 with an MSc in Africa and International Development, followed by a PhD in African Studies.

The University of Edinburgh scholarship includes coverage of full tuition fees, plus an annual maintenance stipend for four years (15,840 pounds for the one-year MSc and in the subsequent three years or four years of PhD study) and 4,000 pounds to cover UK visa application fees, travel costs to Edinburgh, and more.

How to apply for the new University of Edinburgh scholarship

These are the eligibility requirements:

• Female normally domiciled in an African country
• An excellent undergraduate degree (minimum of a high 2.1) in the social sciences from an accredited university in Africa (a master’s degree achieved with distinction will be an advantage).
• no previous degree from a university outside Africa (except the University of Edinburgh)
• commitment to studying for a PhD in African Studies
• leadership potential and intention to maximise the impact of their research
• an offer to study for the MSc in Africa and International Development and/or the PhD in African Studies at the University of Edinburgh

Deadlines to apply for the programme and scholarship are April 15, 2022 and April 30, 2022, respectively.

Unlike other scholarships, this award will serve as “a bridge between undergraduate studies and the PhD.” It will allow you to gain “sufficient research experience to embark on a PhD to get that grounding with an MSc ,” as stated on the university’s website. The award aims to encourage applicants who think a PhD is out of reach by combining both postgraduate qualifications.

Hello, according to our University of Edinburgh scholarships page, they do not offer any fully funded Master’s. Also, we are not University of Edinburgh, and so, we can’t offer you admission. The institution itself offers admission. If you are interested, you can search our Master’s Scholarships Database for fully funded scholarships that fits your criteria.

If no response is received by the given date, the offer will be rescinded and awarded to the next reserve candidate.

Assessors will use the  SGSSS Marking Framework  for their ranking process in both stages.

The School selection panel will meet in the Spring, and results will be communicated to candidates by email shortly thereafter. 

Note that we also hold a reserve list; in the event that a successful candidate later declines their award, for example because they obtain different funding. In this case, the award will be offered to the top candidate on the reserve list. 

We aim to have contacted all 'Edinburgh Doctoral College Scholarship - SPS' candidates to let them know the outcome of their application by the end of May.

Due to the volume of applications we receive and the lengthy assessment and ranking process, we are unable to answer individual responses until then.

Lindner professor recognized as a Fulbright Scholar

Finance professor charles appeadu to teach, mentor in ghana.

Charles Appeadu, PhD, associate professor-educator of finance at the Carl H. Lindner College of Business, was recently recognized with a Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program award in finance to Ghana for the 2024-2025 academic year from the U.S. Department of State and the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board.

Appeadu will travel to the Catholic University of Ghana, Sunyani, in January 2025 to teach graduate students and mentor junior faculty, something he enthusiastically looks forward to.

“Anytime I have the opportunity to give back and to help anybody who wants to advance, especially young people, I'm excited because I believe there's so much potential that is untapped,” said Appeadu. “And if I can encourage somebody to move higher, to work harder, to advance in whatever area they want to advance, then I think I'm pretty happy doing that.”

Charles Appeadu, PhD, associate professor-educator of finance.

Appeadu received an invitation to complete his Fulbright program at the institution from the Catholic University of Ghana, Sunyani. The university recently received its accreditation to award doctoral degrees in business. Having grown up in Ghana, Appeadu’s deep connection to the country granted him the unique perspective to view the university’s needs and offer his expertise and guidance as the university moves forward in developing its graduate programs.

“Dr. Appeadu’s commitment to advancing education and mentorship globally, fostering academic excellence and developing future leaders in Ghana is truly commendable,” said Lindner Dean Marianne Lewis , PhD, a former Fulbright Scholar awardee herself. “Dr. Appeadu exemplifies Lindner's core values of impactful teaching, community engagement and problem solving. We applaud his approach, extending his expertise to benefit institutions abroad, embodying the spirit of Lindner's mission to make a meaningful impact locally and globally.”

Appeadu’s credentials are extensive, in both academia and industry. Appeadu has published works in The Journal of Portfolio Management , The Journal of Performance Measurement and the Transportation Planning and Technology journal. Additionally, he previously worked as a research analyst and portfolio manager within the investment industry.

This fits in directly to what Lindner is all about, making an impact both internally and externally, and the Fulbright Scholar program fits in perfectly to that.

Appeadu teaches a range of courses at Lindner, but his specialty lies in corporate finance, which he will teach while in Ghana. He also travels with students abroad to Ghana as part of INTB5029: The Microfinance Industry, the Informal Sector, and Women Entrepreneurs, most recently at the conclusion of the 2024 spring semester. 

“He is an almost perfect exemplar of the type of faculty member you would want to participate in such a program,” said Michael Ferguson , PhD, director of the department of finance, real estate, and insurance and risk management . “He will do an outstanding job, representing himself and the program extremely well, and have a positive impact on the institutions and people he interacts with.”

Appeadu attributes the support he has received from his colleagues and the college with helping to make this opportunity possible. 

“I think the Lindner College of Business acknowledges this kind of work for educators like me. That it's not only research that counts but teaching, mentoring and serving the community. This fits in directly to what Lindner is all about, making an impact both internally and externally, and the Fulbright Scholar program fits in perfectly to that.”
