About the Studentship

The °ÄÃÅÍõÖÐÍõ LKE Ozolins Studentship is awarded to an individual who wishes to pursue a Doctor of Philosophy degree (PhD) in the field of Architecture.

°ÄÃÅÍõÖÐÍõ LKE Ozolins Studentship 2024

We are now welcoming applications for the 2024 °ÄÃÅÍõÖÐÍõ LKE Ozolins Studentship.

Applicants must be pursuing, or have been offered a place to pursue, a PhD degree in a UK higher education institution that offers undergraduate professional qualifications in architecture validated by the °ÄÃÅÍõÖÐÍõ (°ÄÃÅÍõÖÐÍõ Part 1, 2, or 3). In this instance, the delivery of research training is more important than the subject to be studied, so the applicant should show why they want to pursue this topic and its long-term beneficial impact to architecture and to society.

In case of two equally good candidates, preference will be given to °ÄÃÅÍõÖÐÍõ Members.

The studentship will be worth £19,237 for a student registered on a course outside London and £21,237 for a student registered on a course in London for each year of the duration of study, subject to satisfactory completion of each year to a maximum of three years. Please note that the studentship does not provide a separate award to cover course fees.
