I am seeing funding to finance my PhD studies at the University of Cambridge. I was offered a place at the PhD in Management programme at the Judge Business School to undertake research on the following subject: Communicating national and local identities through global media- the effectiveness of advertising country and city brands in international TV and print.

Could you please advise what other than ESRC funding could I apply for?

Best regards,
Zuzanna

UK national?

Thank you for your reply.

I am a Polish citizen and UK resident since February 2005. Would you have any ideas of where could I apply for funding?

Many thanks,
Zuzanna

it's unfortunate that you are one year to short in britain to be eligible for ESRC.

Thank you for your reply.
I thought I would be entitled for the full ESRC award as a "migrant worker", however I was anyway not nominated by the school to be allowed to apply for this scholarship.

I will reapply for the Gates scholarship next year and will additionally apply for IFWU, this is however insufficient to cover all the costs.

Thank you again for your advice.
Best wishes, Zuzanna

you can re-apply for ESRC in your first year, for your second and further years.
did you find out everything about funding from your "home" country?

good luck!

there doesn't seam to be many apportunities for funding form Poland. Thanks.
