The University is delighted to announce that it will fund 9 Ph.D. students/post-doctoral researchers from across the University this academic session, giving them the opportunity to visit one of our key partners, Columbia University in New York. Once again, the Fund attracted a high number of strong applications across a broad range of academic disciplines, from English, Film and Classics, to Biomedical Engineering, and Social and Public Health Sciences. As well as providing our PhDs/post-docs with the opportunity to visit Columbia and discuss their research with academic staff there, the Fund is also designed to further enhance our strategic links with Columbia University, through strengthening the interaction between various research groups.
