Request

Request Received: 12 June 2020

To whom it may concern, Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like to request information pertaining to the:

- numbers and figures of PhD Studentship applications made by BAME applicants per year for as far back as the records go.

- Secondly, I would also like to know precisely how many PhD Studentships have been successfully awarded per year to BAME applicants for as far back as the records go.

While I am interested in these figures from a general national perspective, I am also keen to learn what these figures are specifically with regards to the Scottish Graduate School of Social Sciences Doctoral Training Programme as the largest distributor of ESRC funding in the country.
