Number of students starting PhDs falls

The data, published last month in Research Council Impact Reports 2013, do not include studentships awarded by 바카라사이트 Medical Research Council.

Some 4,513 students started PhDs in 2012-13, down from 5,723 in 2009-10. The drop in new Engineering and Physical Research Council PhDs plays a ¡°large role¡± in 바카라사이트 overall reduction, says 바카라사이트 document published by 바카라사이트 Department for Business, Innovation and Skills.

The fall in EPSRC and Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council PhDs has been driven ¡°in minor part by an increased prioritisation and focus on 바카라사이트 best students through Centres for Doctoral Training¡±, 바카라사이트 report states.

The number of new PhD studentships funded by 바카라사이트 Natural Environment Research Council and 바카라사이트 Economic and Social Research Council has risen slightly since 2009-10.
