2009.

Please note that MSc in Islamic Finance, as can be seen on the detailed
structure of the programmes on our website, requires more quantitative elements
such as econometrics as compared to MA in Islamic Finance.

Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Awards

Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Awards (DHPA) is a UK scheme to bring outstanding students from India, China, Hong Kong, South Africa, Brazil, Russia and the developing world to come and study for PhDs in top rated UK research facilities. The initiative was launched by the Prime Minister In November 2003.

The 2008 tranche of awards provided funding for 87 new PhD students (26 core awards and 61 additional awards).
What's new

Arrangements for 2009
The Department of Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS) and the Research Councils recognise the great importance for the UK of being able to attract the best international research students, and we have agreed to continue to run a core paired awarding exercise for up to 58 new scholar starts in October 2009. This exercise will of course be contingent upon finding and confirming the necessary private sector sponsors and matching them to Research Council funding.
