Description

UCC invites applications for the first Lauritzson Research Scholarships which have been established in honour of the late Dr Lauritzson to promote research in food science and food-related disciplines. These scholarships aim to support students and integrate them into the academic, social and cultural aspects of University College Cork.

The scholarships are targeted at high performing students proposing to undertake impactful research, possibly of an inter-disciplinary nature, at the highest level in the broad area of food science under a supervisor or supervision team with significant experience in the area.

The scholarship is tenable for two or four years, depending on the course of study (i.e. MSc or PhD).

Students who have attained at least at least Second Class Honours, Grade 1 (or equivalent) in an appropriate degree are eligible to apply for a PhD or MSc Research degree at UCC.

Scholarship

The Lauritzson Research Scholarships will have a value of EUR 28,000 per annum, tenable for two or four academic years (depending on whether the successful applicant is pursuing a MSc or PhD) and includes a student bursary of EUR 16,000 per annum, tuition fees and a budget for laboratory consumables to support the student’s research.

How to apply?
