Laidlaw Leadership and Research Programme 2023/24
Do you want to develop your leadership skills? Would you like to conduct a research project with a supervisor in your chosen field (while receiving a generous stipend to do so during some of the summer)? Would you like to travel overseas to put your leadership and research skills into action?
If the answer is yes, have you considered becoming a Laidlaw Scholar?
Only 25 places are available on the Laidlaw Leadership and Research Programme, open to students who still have two summers left before graduating from the University.
The Laidlaw Scholarship Programme in leadership and research is an exciting programme that aims to equip students with the skills and values to become leaders in their chosen occupations beyond University.
As a Laidlaw Scholar, you would carry out two summer projects during the upcoming two summers (a six-week research project during the first summer and a six-week leadership-in-action project, which could be based on your year one research project or an international leadership experience, during the second summer). You would have the opportunity to pursue and report on a research question with a research supervisor. This may be from a list of pre-advertised projects or a project of your choosing within your chosen School. These research projects take place alongside a comprehensive leadership programme that runs across the academic year.
BENEFITS:
- £6000 stipend to facilitate your research project and leadership development
- £1200 travel fund across 2 years
- A comprehensive leadership development programme
- An insightful research experience
- Join a global network of scholars
An online briefing session is being held on Wednesday, 2 November 2022 at 5.15pm. More information can be found via this booking link.
Applications for the 2023 Laidlaw Scholarship will open on Thursday, 3 November 2022 and close at 12 noon on Friday, 20 January 2023.
