Scotland: Studentship for MSc Science and Technology Policy and Management 2008/09, University of Edinburgh

The David Edge studentship will provide support for a full-time student in 2008-09 in the MSc Science and Technology Policy and Management at the University of Edinburgh. The studentship is awarded by the ISSTI in honour of the life and achievements of Dr David Edge (1932-2003).

The studentship covers the costs of the University UK/EU fees for the one-year full-time course – £4600 – plus £420 research expenses. Applications are welcome from within or outside the European Union, but the studentship does not cover the full costs of fees for non-EU students.

David Edge was founder of the Science Studies Unit at Edinburgh, a central figure in the development of the field of Science and Technology Studies, and a valued colleague and mentor over many years to people now working in the field at Edinburgh and beyond.

The closing date for applications for the David Edge studentship is 28 March 2008. Applications are welcome from all those who have submitted by that time an application for the academic year 2008/09 for the MSc Science and Technology Policy and Management.
