The three main awards, which comprise a fee-bursary and a maintenance grant, are ESRC studentships in Linguistics, an AHRC studentship in Linguistics or English Language, and the University-funded President's Doctoral Scholar Awards. In addition, the School of Languages, Linguistics and Cultures will offer a number of PhD fee bursaries. Please visit http://www.llc.manchester.ac.uk/postgraduate/funding/ for details on these awards. Manchester is an international centre for Linguistics and English Language. The department is virtually unique in the UK and beyond in the breadth of subject areas and theoretical approaches represented by its members, many of whom are internationally renowned scholars in their specialisms. The Department of Linguistics and English Language is expected to consist of 16 full-time members of staff in September 2012, and approximately 25 postgraduate research students. The Research Assessment Exercise 2008 has judged more than half of Linguistics and English Language work to be in the top two research categories of 4* ('world-leading') and 3* ('internationally excellent').
