CASE Awards
Collaborative Awards in Science and Engineering
CASE stands for Collaborative Awards in Science and Engineering and offer one way for businesses to develop a long term partnership with Science and Technology at Lancaster through a heavily subsided long term R&D project.
Awarded by the UK Research Council, CASE Studentships provide funding for the most able students to undertake three years of study for a PhD degree, five years for part time awards and work on a project jointly designed and supervised by a University department and a company, who can be from the public, private or voluntary sectors, ranging from multinationals, SMEs, local authorities and registered charities.
The student will be specially selected in collaboration with the company and will spend at least 3 months during the period of the award at the company’s premises. The company partner is required to contribute a minimum of a third of the Research Councils contribution.
