Applications should be submitted to the OU. Potential applicants should contact Philosophy’s Postgraduate Research Coordinator Dr Azita Chellappoo (azita.ch...@open.ac.uk) well in advance of the 9th January deadline to discuss their research proposal and suitability.
Details of the OU application process can be found here: https://fass.open.ac.uk/philosophy/postgraduate-research.
Competition is fierce, and a strong academic history is required. Those who are unsuccessful in obtaining the studentship may still be offered a self-funded place to study with us.
The application is midday 9th January 2024. The most promising applicants will be invited to interview at the OU soon after, a portion of which will then be put forward for consideration by the OOC DTP.
Best wishes,
Azita
