Kent announces 100 '50th anniversary' doctoral scholarships to be 
awarded annually from 2012.

The University of Kent, in preparation for its 50th anniversary in 2015, 
has established 100 doctoral scholarships for UK, EU and international 
students.

The recipients of the new scholarships will be known as Kent's 50th 
Anniversary Scholars.

The scholarships, which will be awarded annually from 2012, will 
complement the already significant investment the University makes in 
its postgraduate community. Kent's scholarship fund now exceeds £5.5m 
and is supplemented by funding from the leading UK research councils and 
external bodies bringing the total funds it has to support postgraduate 
research to over £8m.

Kent has an excellent reputation for its dynamic and challenging 
academic environment, as well as its collaborative research with 
universities around the world. Many of its programmes have a strong 
international focus and it is the only UK university to lead two 
prestigious Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctoral programmes: Text and Event in 
Early Modern Studies (TEEME) and the Doctorate in Cultural and Global 
Criminology (DCGC). It also operates thriving specialist postgraduate 
centres in Paris(humanities), Brussels (international studies) and 
Athens (heritage management).

Its specialist Graduate School works to enhance the quality of the 
postgraduate student experience and ensures a supportive and vibrant 
postgraduate community across all its campuses.

Professor Diane Houston, Dean of the Graduate School, said: 'The 
Graduate School is leading the growth of doctoral training and research 
at the University of Kent. In the last five years the number of 
doctorates awarded has increased by 25 percent. These new fully funded 
scholarships are a key investment that Kent is making in its own future 
and that of research in the UK.'
