The NUI Travelling Studentship Scheme is one of the University’s longest running competitions and has been in existence since 1910. Funded by the University from its own resources, it continues an earlier scheme established by the Royal University of Ireland, which preceded NUI.
The Travelling Doctoral Studentships in the Humanities and Social Sciences will be
deemed as including, but not limited to, all academic disciplines within the Arts,
Humanities and Social Sciences, including Business, Law, and Psychology.
The Travelling Doctoral Studentships in the Sciences and Engineering will be deemed
as including all branches of the Sciences and Engineering. All branches of the Sciences
will be deemed as including, but not limited to, all academic disciplines within
Agricultural, Biological, Chemical, Computing, Food, Physical, Natural, Veterinary,
Medical and Health Sciences. All branches of Engineering will be deemed as including,
but not limited to, Chemical, Civil, Electrical/Electronic, Environmental, Food and
Beverage, Materials, Mechanical, Medical and Biomedical Engineering, and
Architecture.
The NUI Travelling Doctoral Studentships are open to NUI graduates planning on pursuing doctoral research with a substantial travel component. Travelling Doctoral Studentships facilitate NUI graduates to pursue doctoral research outside of Ireland. First year doctoral students are also eligible to apply for this award.
The NUI Travelling Studentship Scheme has as its main objectives:
(i) to encourage students in the NUI federal system to pursue research
(ii) to enable these students to undertake postgraduate research abroad, in the most reputable universities, towards a doctoral degree,
or
to assist students registered in NUI institutions to foster international partnerships by undertaking substantial research periods overseas as part of their doctoral studies
(iii) to attract scholars back to enrich the learning community within NUI.
In 2025, the maximum value of a full Travelling Doctoral Studentship will be €30,000 per annum to include a stipend of €22,000 and a contribution towards fees of up to €8,000, where appropriate.
