Application form and guidance (Microsoft Word 70KB)

The primary object of the Society for Radiological Protection is to 'promote and advance the science and culture of radiological protection and allied fields'.  To further this aim, the Society invites applications for the following bursaries from UK and overseas students wishing to undertake a recognised course, at a British University. Up to one scholarship and one studentship are made available each year.

1. The SRP Scholarship
   The course should lead to the degree of MSc and be specifically recognised by the SRP Awards Committee as preparation for a career in Radiation Protection.  The value of the scholarship will be the full course fees (as applicable to a UK national) plus a grant towards living expenses (£5,500 outside London, £7,000 for London).  The recipient will also be offered mentoring as appropriate.  Recipients undertaking an industrial placement as part of their MSc thesis may apply for funding to assist with additional costs.
2. The SRP Studentship
   The course should lead to the degree of MSc and be in the field of radiological protection or an allied subject, provided that the course has a considerable radiological protection content.  The value of the studentship will be the full course fees (as applicable to a UK national) plus a sum of £500 which is intended to cover expenditure such as books.  The recipient will also be offered mentoring as appropriate.  Recipients undertaking an industrial placement as part of their MSc thesis may apply for funding to assist with additional costs.

Conditions
In awarding the bursaries the Council of SRP has in mind the opportunities that they might provide for existing members of the profession to acquire further qualifications as well as the opportunities they may offer to new graduates.  Preference will be given to candidates intending to follow a career in radiological protection in the UK.  A condition of holding either bursary will be that the recipient applies for membership of the Society, if he or she is not already a member.

How to Apply
Applications should be submitted on the application forms available here or from the SRP Administrative Office (admin@srp-uk.org) through the appropriate department of the College or University at which study will be undertaken.  The sponsoring institute is asked to provide:

(a) personal particulars of the candidate;
(b) a full description of the form and content of the course to be undertaken;
(c) details of other financial support available to the candidate.

Applications may be submitted at any time during the year.  Those received before 30th June will be considered for an award to commence that year.  Applications received after 30th June will be considered for an award commencing in the year following.
