Fourth-Year Researchers
In the fourth-year researchers will be primarily engaged in writing up their thesis, rather than doing primary research. It is therefore not anticipated that researchers will be going on mission. However, in exceptional cases, it may be necessary to go on mission. Support in these cases will be dependant on the Department’s current budget.
Fourth Year Grant
Researchers are invited to read the Academic rules and regulations for the doctoral programme of the Institute.
Researchers entering their fourth year are eligible for a full completion grant of 12 months. This grant is payable in installments and is subject to conditions which link payment to completion by the end of the fourth year. The full completion grant will be paid to all researchers who submit their first and final draft by the 48th month of registration.
