We help subsidise the cost of membership fees to a relevant academic society for each postgraduate research student over the period of their programme through our society membership fund.
This fund is to enable students to access travel awards and other benefits that may be available to society members, as well as to engage with activities and networking opportunities in their discipline.
Eligibility
The fund is open to all students who are active on a postgraduate research programme (i.e. not during submission pending or under examination) in the Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health.
Students are entitled to a maximum of £50 towards society membership fees over the duration of their programme only.
Process
Students will need to complete a PR7 form and email this to fbmh.doctoralacademy@manchester.ac.uk with a copy of the confirmation of booking/receipt from the relevant society.
