Value of Queen Mary University of London (QMUL)-Intellectual Property Ph.D. - Herchel Smith Scholarships in UK, 2021:

The successful applicants of Queen Mary University of London (QMUL)-Intellectual Property Ph.D. - Herchel Smith Scholarships in the UK, 2021 will receive the following benefits:

• • Tuition fees at the EU rate or the overseas rate.
  • 17,000 pounds per year will be paid to the beneficiary on a monthly basis throughout the year commencing from September 2021.

• The Herchel Smith Ph.D. Scholarship Programme recognizes and supports exceptional full-time students who show the potential to make an outstanding contribution to intellectual property law. This program supports Ph.D. students in intellectual property law and those working at the intersection of intellectual property law and other areas of sciences and humanities.
• The award is for new applicants who will enroll at the start of the coming academic year, in September 2021. Therefore, current Ph.D. students who enrolled prior to September are not eligible to apply for the award.
• Please note that Ph.D. programs are available in September entry only. Applicants must fulfill the necessary academic requirements to be eligible for the program (this includes graduating from their LLM course with the specified grade or higher). Therefore, students graduating in November 2021 can only start their studies in September 2021 and are not eligible for this award (unless they have previously graduated from an LLM degree taken earlier).
•  It is therefore open to both UK and non-EU applicants.

Only applicants who have completed the online application process to the PhD programme prior to the funding submission deadline will be considered for funding. For information on how to make an application, what our entry requirements are, and what supporting documentation is required.

To make an online application,you would need to visit this webpage and scroll down and then click on one of the two buttons at the very bottom of the webpage. You need to indicate from the ‘choose a degree’ box you would like to apply for a PhD, indicate you wish to study on a full-time basis, and then indicate a Semester 1 (September) start date - we do not offer start dates in January or May.

Applicants should note the School of Law, unlike other PhD programmes at QMUL, has no formal requirement for applicants to contact an academic staff member to arrange for supervision to be agreed prior to submission of their full application.  All applications, in the first instance, are reviewed by our Research Admissions Director. The Director has an overview of the supervisory capabilities and availabilities of all academic staff within the School, so applications are always reviewed, if they are considered strong enough by the Director, by academics with research expertise relevant to an applicant’s proposed area of study.  

However, the College’s On-line application system requires applicants to confirm the name of a proposed supervisor (in the ‘Research Proposal’ section).  As Law has no requirement here, applicants can simply name their proposed supervisor as a ‘School of Law supervisor’, without having to name a specific member of staff (although they are free to do so if they wish).
