Postgraduate research support scheme (PRSS)

What is the PRSS?
It is a scheme introduced by the University in 2001 to provide direct support for currently enrolled postgraduate research students. The funds are not allocated directly to the students but are awarded by Research and Office to eligible applicants on a competitive basis according to the University’s general guidelines. Selection committees will consider (1) quality of the applicant and track record relative to opportunity and stage of candidature, (2) demonstrated need for funding, and (3) priorities, if any, placed on the different expenditure categories by the Faculty Research Group.

Further information on the PRSS eligibility criteria, information for Students document and the application form are available on the University Research Office's website
