Candidates for ESRC funded studentships can be of either three years: PhD funding for students with Masters research training already, or three: Masters training plus PhD.
Academic qualifications

Project Details
There are a range of different types of studentship available:
1+3 Year Studentships (48 Months) These awards provide funding for a one year Masters degree and a three year PhD study. Students who have only completed or are in the process of completing an undergraduate degree should apply for these awards.
+3 Year Studentships (36 Months) These awards will suit applicants who wish to enter directly into a PhD programme and who have already completed a Masters degree, which incorporates 60 credits or more of research methods training.
Part-Time Studentships Part-time students receive funding for up to eight (8) years, which breaks down as up to two (2) years for Masters training and a further six (6) years for doctoral study.
Collaborative studentships These awards involve a non-academic partner organisation, such as the Scottish Government, Skills Development Scotland, a local authority, NHS Trust, charity or business, and can take many forms.
Advanced Quantitative Methods These awards provide scholarships (1+3, +3, part-time) for students using advanced quantitative methods (AQM) in their PhD.
Fees only studentships Theses awards are available for all of the above types of studentships when EU students have not been primarily resident in the UK for the past three years.
