Who funds inter departmental studentships

D

Is it split between two or just one?

A

Unsatisfying answer I know but the truth is that it will vary. Many projects are multidisciplinary in nature and so involve more than one department.

D

It's a good answer. So would it be 1/2 and 1/2 for funding and like living costs?

H

Mine is between two departments and its not an equal split but still adds up to the EPSRC total

D

So is it internal or external funding? Sorry I'm new to all this.

H

Mine is comes from the funding (from the funding council) given to each supervisor from the different departments but this is not always going to be the case.

D

As you have studentships but if you get funding from both then you don't qualify or is that a different pot of money?

H

both of them together equal one studentship, I'm not getting double or anything.

Not entirely sure what you are asking here.

D

If you went through a departmental studentship you wouldn't qualify if you have half from each for a full studentship. So do they have other funding for 1/2 studentships?

A

eh?????

H

Well in case I'm mistaken, 1/2 + 1/2 = 1 whole full studentship.

D

Sorry I mean if you have 1/2 a studentship from one dept and 1/2 from another.

H

That still gives you one whole studentship......
....

..... anyone else know what dee2005 is getting at?

D

Okay you have one studentship.

However you want it to be funded by 2 departments. Now a department can't give you a whole studentship as it takes it away from someone else.

D

The funding won't be external it will be internal.
