28 Postgraduate prospectus

‘Do we have a duty to be beautiful? It’s not surprising that how we look matters in an increasingly visual and virtual world; the pressure to be perfect is something that young men and women increasingly feel.’

Professor Heather Widdows

OUR RESEARCHERSOur researchers feature prominently in the public eye, helping to question and change society. Read more about their research in action.

How is beauty transforming the self?

The demand to be beautiful is increasingly important in today’s visual and virtual culture. Rightly or wrongly, perfection has, for some, become an ethical ideal by which to live and judge ourselves as successes or failures.

HEATHER WIDDOWS, Professor of Global Ethics, Department of Philosophy

Heather’s research on beauty is currently formed of two main strands: Perfect Me, her latest book, and the Beauty Demands Project and Network. Perfect Me explores how looking beautiful has become a moral imperative in today’s visual and virtual world. It examines the changing nature of the beauty ideal, showing how it is more dominant, more demanding and more global than ever before.

The Beauty Demands Project has, over the last two years, brought together cultural theorists, historians, lawyers, doctors, philosophers, sociologists and psychologists with medical and nurse practitioners, artists and journalists to consider the changing requirements of beauty. Together they have explored the psychological, ethical, regulatory and legal issues of beauty demands.

Women’s role in policy

In 2018, International Women’s Day was celebrated amid scandals around the abuse of vulnerable women across many sectors, including aid, multi-national companies and the film industry. Women’s rights, responsibilities and gender equality are a focus of many of our researchers’ work.

FIONA DE LONDRAS, Professor of Global Legal Studies, Birmingham Law School

Professor Fiona de Londras is a regular media commentator on legal, political and constitutional affairs, and her research concerns constitutionalism, human rights and transnationalism. Fiona was heavily involved with abortion law reform, educating the public before the referendum on the 8th Amendment (Article 40.3.3 of the Constitution) in Ireland.

Alongside Máiréad Enright (Senior Lecturer in Birmingham Law School), Fiona ran the website www.aboutthe8th.com, working to inform and empower the electorate to engage with the legal arguments for and implications of the repeal of the 8th Amendment.

DR KATHERINE BROWN, Senior lecturer in Islamic Studies in the Department of Theology and Religion

In her work, Katherine researches how counter-terrorism and counter-radicalisation programmes impact on religious women’s rights and Muslim communities. Recently she has given expert advice and testimony in the UK in a number of cases involving radicalisation.

Gender-mainstreaming ensures the different implications on men and women in any policy are considered and valued equally, and Katherine has worked for the UN on gender-mainstreaming in countering violent extremism. She has also given talks with the EU on violent extremism and radical beliefs, and provided academic oversight for think tanks.

NIC CHEESEMAN, Professor of Democracy and Fellow of the Institute for Global Innovation

Nic’s research into democracy, representation and electoral malpractice has attracted considerable academic, policy and media attention around the world, especially after the launch of his new book, How to Rig an Election. The book is based on his, and co-author Brian Klaas’s first-hand experiences as election watchers and their hundreds of interviews with presidents, prime ministers, diplomats, election officials and conspirators.

How do regimes continue to rig elections and get away with it?

With electoral fraud in the media spotlight, both in the UK and internationally, it is important to explore how the electoral process can be undermined and exploited by those in power.

‘Given the pressure that the media puts on us to provide glib answers and big predictions, we should be careful when it comes to forecasting the future, and always make sure that we bring in some complexities in a historically rooted analysis.’

Professor Nic Cheeseman

Nic has commented on topics ranging from elections to gender inequality. He is the author of Democracy in Africa: Successes, Failures and the Struggle for Political Reform, and regularly provides analysis to the UK and US governments. He is an advisor to, and writer for, the late Kofi Annan’s African Progress Panel, and also leads a new research programme on innovative ways to tackle gender inequality in health and wellbeing as part of the University’s new Institute for Global Innovation.

Genomic sequencing at the heart of outbreak response

Genome sequencing in disease outbreaks is useful to understand how a virus evolves, but the information has to be available quickly in order to guide control efforts. Portable DNA sequencing systems allow outbreak genome sequencing in real time, impacting directly on the response to a virus on the ground, as well as helping to build a picture of its evolution.

Constantly questioning to discover more answers. Read more stories through our online research magazine: www.birmingham.ac.uk/quest

PROFESSOR NICK LOMAN, Professor of Microbial Genomics and Bioinformatics, School of Biosciences

Nick Loman and his team first saw success during their ‘lab in a suitcase’ genomic surveillance of the Ebola outbreak, before shifting their focus towards Brazil, and the spread of Zika.

They worked with health partners in Brazil to combat Zika by deploying a pair of mobile DNA sequencing laboratories on a medical ‘road trip’ through the worst-hit areas of the country.

Using portable, USB-powered genome sequencing equipment to analyse virus samples, the team used data gathered to track the spread of the virus and spot its emergence in large towns and cities; a crucial tool in the fight against these outbreaks.

WHERE COULD YOUR DEGREE TAKE YOU?

When considering postgraduate study, it is useful to know the type of roles and career routes previous students have followed on graduation.

Gary started as an apprentice in Birmingham’s world-famous Jewellery Quarter, where he

climbed to Managing Director for Merrell Casting and Hockley Mint.

Having left school with just one O level, Gary was conscious that he had no formal management training, and so he chose Birmingham to complete his MBA to push himself as far as he could go. Now he wants to lead a revolution in ethical stones and metals. Five years ago Gary decided to become an ambassador for Fairtrade. He visited a non-certified mine in Tanzania, seeing young children working in dangerous conditions and learning why it was so important to ensure change.

‘When you set yourself a career goal it is important that you build the scaffolding of knowledge and skills to enable you to deliver the role to the best of your ability. During my MBA, I learned that as a leader, it’s your role to make positive change. By steering your company ethically, you can influence a whole sector. Now we’re already working with 30 shops across the UK, providing the training and support they need to guarantee you can be proud of every aspect of your jewellery.’

Chris Meah founded the School of Code during his PhD to ensure that no one is left behind as

technology advances.

Companies who urgently need more employees with coding skills sponsor the School’s boot camps, so they can offer the courses free of charge – removing barriers and getting more and different types of people into technology.

The 16-week course takes new learners from zero to coding professional; then helps them into jobs. The School has applicants from many backgrounds, including a baker, a school leaver, a musician, a chemist and a stay-at-home mum. Now 60% of the class are already in coding jobs.

‘I hadn’t seen a line of code before I came to university, and I saw the massive advantages that coding knowledge can give you in the modern world. So I wanted to share the skills people will need for the future.’

We recognise that in an increasingly fast-paced world, flexibility in terms of how and where you undertake your studies is important. Our portfolio of programmes offers a modern solution for today’s postgraduate students.

WHICH PROGRAMME SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?

From part-time and distance learning options through to degree programmes taught by our faculty overseas, we offer a range of opportunities to suit your personal or professional needs. Learn more about your options in this section and find out how to apply.

These are usually one year in length (and a minimum of two years if taken part time). Comprising a number of modules, they are assessed by a combination of coursework, examination and dissertation, and lead to the award of a Masters qualification.

Our taught Masters programmes are the next step after undergraduate study and can be pursued to further your knowledge and expertise, to prepare for a research degree, to gain a vocational qualification or even to change careers.

A combined research and taught

Masters, such as the MRes, is often taken as a stepping stone to doctoral study. These combined programmes will provide you with taught modules to increase your knowledge of a subject, and the opportunity to complete an extended research thesis with the appropriate training and supervision.

A research Masters, such as the MSc by Research, is a good way to investigate a topic in greater depth, to prove your capacity for undertaking research and/or to demonstrate your suitability to progress to a doctoral degree.

These involve the completion of original academic research. They also include research skills training that will equip you to become an independent researcher, capable of advancing knowledge in your field.

Doctoral degrees, such as the PhD, are the highest level of academic qualification, for which you will conductoriginal research and make a contribution to a field of knowledge. Doctoral researchers often teach undergraduate classes during their degree programme and you will usually contribute to the research life of your department by presenting papers at seminars and conferences.

FULL-TIME OR PART-TIME?Although full-time study is still the most common choice for our students, we know that many of our postgraduates, for professional, family or financial reasons, prefer to take their degree course on a part-time basis, either on campus or through distance (online) learning. Some of our programmes now offer these options. Please note that due to visa restrictions, international students (from non-EU/EEA countries) studying on campus are normally only eligible for full-time study.

DISTANCE LEARNING?If you have commitments that don’t allow you to study via the standard on-campus mode, or you prefer an online learning format, then you may like to consider applying for a distance learning programme (a mode of study that is sometimes also referred to as distance education). The main advantage of studying by distance learning is its flexibility. You can study at home, in your own time and at your own pace, so you can combine achieving a qualification with work or family commitments.

‘Engineering and business has always been connected, and I wanted to build my career in marketing. A conversion course gave me marketing knowledge that I lacked before and polished my mathematical, analytical and project management skills – an advantage in the increasingly digital and data-driven practices of marketing.’

APRIL CHEUNG, MSc Strategic Marketing and Consulting alumna

Once you have decided which level and type of degree is most appropriate for you, you can find more details on the degree, support and funding for each level of study on our Course finder pages at www.birmingham. ac.uk/pgcourses

From part-time and distance learning options through to degree programmes taught by our faculty overseas, we offer a range of opportunities to suit your personal or professional needs.

DECIDE YOUR MODE OF STUDYFlexibility in the mode of learning enables you to undertake learning and assessment through different methods and formats. On some of our courses, you can choose which mode of study you take; whether it is campus-based, block delivery, blended or distance learning. Some courses are offered by more than one mode and you may be able to transfer from one mode to another.

‘For me, the best things about my course all stem from its multidisciplinary structure. Studying modules from three different disciplines has enabled me to configure a very broad Masters programme that reflects all my academic interests. As well as providing me with a broad range of topics, the course also enables me to analyse them all in greater depth.

‘The multidisciplinary nature of the course also means that my seminars are spent with students from a range of different courses; from a variety of different academic disciplines, each with unique areas of interest. This means that in every seminar I am exposed to a rewarding mix of ideas and opinions that I otherwise wouldn’t have been exposed to.’

RESEARCH DEGREES

ROUTES INTO RESEARCH AT BIRMINGHAMThere are, generally, two routes to a Birmingham research degree:

nYou can apply to an ‘advertised PhD’, which means it is part of an established research project and is usually funded by the University or other funding body. Generally, advertised PhDs are associated with the physical and life sciences subjects. Some advertised PhDs will be pre-defined but some may require you to propose your own research.

nApply to any of our PhD programmes and propose your own research that is ‘self-funded’ (by you, a sponsor, or other sources not explicitly attached to the PhD on application). Usually you submit a research proposal and identify your proposed supervisor. These are generally associated with the arts and social sciences.

If you are applying to an advertised PhD:Find and identify your project via our advertised PhDs database: www.birmingham.ac.uk/findaphd

If you are proposing your own research:Begin your supervisor search via our staff search, where you can view research interests: www.birmingham.ac.uk/findasupervisor

POSTGRADUATE DOCTORAL LOAN

RESEARCH COUNCIL FUNDING (UKRI)

We offer scholarships to support research postgraduates to invest in their future, along with a number of funded studentships offering generous support.

Funding support for PhD study can be provided in different ways, with some covering the programme fees and including a stipend (maintenance costs), while others may simply be a one-off financial award.

Your first consideration for funding should be our advertised PhDs, UKRI (United Kingdom Research and Innovation), or the many funding bodies listed on our Postgraduate Funding database.

There are two main ways to fund your PhD:Apply for a PhD that already has funding attached. These are most common in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Medicine) subjects, but they can sometimes be available for pre-defined research projects in the arts, humanities or social sciences. These may be advertised as fully funded (with fees and a stipend) or competition funded, meaning the projects compete against other projects at each institution.Search funded projects: www.birmingham.ac.uk/findaphd

Self-fund, or search for funding or a studentship once you have an offer. You devise your own PhD topic, find a supervisor, write a research proposal and apply to the relevant programme. If you’re offered a place at Birmingham, you can then apply for studentships or funding from various sources.

Searching for funding?Use our funding and scholarships database to find sources of funding that may be available to you: www.birmingham.ac.uk/pgfunding

There are seven government-funded research councils, known jointly as UKRI (United Kingdom Research and Innovation) that offer financial support to postgraduate students:

n AHRC (Arts and Humanities Research Council)

n BBSRC (Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council)

n ESRC (Economic and Social Research Council)

n EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council)

n MRC (Medical Research Council) n NERC (Natural Environment

Research Council) n STFC (Science and Technology

Facilities Council)

Full UKRI awards cover the cost of tuition fees and also provide a maintenance grant to support you during your studies. Find out more about our funded centres and partnerships on page 58.

Page 58: POSTGRADUATE PROSPECTUS - Times Higher …...unique learning style. Our Graduate School provides the best possible research and education environment – from dedicated postgraduate

58 Postgraduate prospectus

We have strong partnerships that provide an inspirational and interdisciplinary research environment with access to studentships and funding to help you complete your research degree.

A significant proportion of the UK research council’s funding for postgraduate research studentships is now awarded to institutions via Centres for Doctoral Training (also known as DTCs or CDTs) and Doctoral Training Partnerships (DTPs), Industrial Doctorate Centres (IDCs) or Engineering Doctorate Centres (EDCs).

These are funded by UKRI (UK Research and Innovation), with each research council supporting academic excellence in its specific field through flagship doctoral training.

We are proud to continually secure this competitive funding for our centres and partnerships with other universities. These research council studentships are regarded as some of the most prestigious postgraduate awards available in academia and are highly sought after; competition is extremely fierce.

DOCTORAL TRAINING PARTNERSHIPS AND CENTRES

We host a number of centres, drawing upon the expertise and facilities of a broad range of collaborative partners and interdisciplinary networks, all of which offer full studentships to enable you to undertake and complete your doctoral degree at Birmingham.

As a Birmingham doctoral researcher, you will have the opportunity to work across disciplinary boundaries, both within the University and with a range of business, industry, higher education and research council partners. Some of our many UKRI-funded arrangements are listed here.

Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC)The Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership delivers innovative, world-class research training across the life sciences to boost the growing bioeconomy across the UK.www.birmingham.ac.uk/mibtp

Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC)The Midlands4Cities DTP brings together eight leading universities in the Midlands to combine research expertise that encourages the professional and personal development of Arts and Humanities doctoral researchers.www.birmingham.ac.uk/ahrc

Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) The Central England NERC Training Alliance (CENTA) DTP and the NERC CDT in Oil & Gas work to provide excellence in doctoral research training, giving postgraduates extensive training and confidence in all aspects of their research. www.centa.org.uk www.nerc-cdt-oil-and-gas.ac.uk

Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) We have a range of centres, from Clean Power to Manufacturing, providing training that equips engineers and scientists with the skills, knowledge and confidence to tackle today’s big issues.www.birmingham.ac.uk/epsrcRESEARCH

COUNCIL-FUNDED COLLABORATIONS

Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)The Midlands Graduate School DTP offers postgraduate researchers 17 different training pathways that span various social sciences disciplines. The DTP consists of six partner universities: Birmingham, Aston, Leicester, Loughborough, Nottingham and Warwick, and also offers funding for doctorates.www.birmingham.ac.uk/esrc

Medical Research Council (MRC)The Integrated Midlands Partnership for Biomedical Training (IMPACT) DTP combines research from the universities of Birmingham, Leicester and Nottingham to provide motivated postgraduates with the support and expertise to make a difference.www.birmingham.ac.uk/mrc

Doctoral Training Partnerships (DTPs) support PhD studentships across all areas of a research council’s subject remit. They may have specific areas of expertise, based on available supervisors and facilities, but the studentships they have available can be used for a broad range of projects.

Centres for Doctoral Training (CDTs) or Doctoral Training Centres (DTCs) have more specific goals. They recruit PhD students to build up research expertise in target areas.

Industrial Doctorate Centres and Engineering Doctorate Centres combine PhD-level research projects with taught courses, and students spend about 75% of their time working directly with a company.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

DREAM: jointly funded CDTFunded by NERC and ESRC, DREAM is a CDT in ‘Data, Risk and Environmental Analytical Methods’, supporting 37 students to undertake research that will help implement risk mitigation strategies in the environmental sciences. www.dream-cdt.ac.uk

126 Postgraduate prospectus

Campus open days are an excellent way to explore the campus and local accommodation, and you can also speak with our expert support and academic staff to find out more about Birmingham and your course.

We run monthly guided tours of the campus, at which you will be shown around by a postgraduate student from your subject area. They are a great opportunity to get first-hand advice and to network with current students.

These regular events offer an opportunity to get first-hand, impartial advice on what it is actually like to be a postgraduate at Birmingham. The Cafés are informal social events designed to enable anyone interested in postgraduate study to network with current students over a few drinks.
