£6m scheme to train postgrads

A NEW £6 million scholarship scheme which will offer more than 100 postgraduates a package of career training is being launched by Edinburgh University.

The Principal's Career Development PhD Scholarships, which are open to UK, EU and overseas students, will be offered over the next two academic years.

The scholarships include a package of training that allows PhD students to simultaneously develop skills in research, and also in teaching, public engagement, or entrepreneurship.
