Doctoral scholarships

UC offers a diverse range of scholarships to support students for study towards a research doctoral degree at Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha | University of Canterbury. Find out more about doctoral scholarships at UC.

Whakamāramatanga | Key information

There are a number of doctoral scholarships options available for students intending to enrol in a PhD at UC:

• The 'UC Doctoral Scholarships' is a term referring to a collection of scholarships which have central funding. See more details on these scholarships below.
• There are other scholarships available that students can apply for within our Scholarships Database . Check each scholarship's Regulations which outlines the eligibility and selection criteria. 
• Sometimes a Department has funding that they are able to offer a student a scholarship with - check with your supervisor if this is a possibility for you. 
• Try searching for a scholarship from an organisation external to UC .

UC Doctoral Scholarships

The collection of 'UC Doctoral Scholarships', are grouped into three categories. These, and their co-tenability conditions, are:

• Core – Not co-tenable with any other Core scholarships.
• Prestige – Co-tenable with Core scholarships.
• Recognition – Co-tenable with Core scholarships and do not include additional monetary value.

The Prestige and Recognition scholarships are selected from all the applicants who were assessed for a Core scholarship in any given year. Because of this, Prestige and Recognition scholarships are awarded at the end of each academic year (no separate application is required). If an applicant is awarded a Prestige scholarship, its value is added to the value of the Core Scholarship, so a stipend of $30,000 p.a. is increased to $35,000 p.a.

The scholarships listed within the 'UC Doctoral Scholarships' regulations are currently considered as part of the application-to-enrol process. These scholarships are a mix of awards, which recognise success within certain categories (academic, women, Māori, Pacific students, etc.). An application to study in a doctoral degree programme at UC is regarded as an application for these doctoral scholarships, and so submitting the enrolment application will ensure you have provided all the required information to be assessed for these.

Please note:  These scholarships are subject to funding availability and are reviewed each year. The UC Scholarships Office administers most of these scholarships. Please search our  scholarships database  for all scholarships currently available.

Meet amey hughes - our 2023 Ph.D Scholarship WInner

I am a Ph.D Candidate at Te Herenga Waka - Victoria University of Wellington in cell and molecular biology under the joint supervision of Associate Professor Janet Pitman and Dr. Simon Hinkley at the Ferrier Institute. I have spent the last six years living and studying in wellington, completing my Bachelor of Biomedical Science with First Class honours, before beginning my PhD study in February of 2022. 

My research is focused on Kākāpō, which are a species of parrot that is endemic to Aotearoa and have become critically endangered. Kākāpō breed only every 2-5 years, coinciding with the fruiting of the New Zealand rimu. Despite the breeding strategies developed by the Kākāpō Recovery Team, the kākāpō population has only risen to about 200 individuals.  

The mechanistic link between successful breeding and rimu fruit is unknown. One hypothesis is that phytoestrogens in rimu fruit act on oestrogen receptors (ESR1) in the liver, stimulate egg yolk protein production leading to ovarian follicle maturation. We reported oestrogenic activity in crude rimu fruit extracts and identified an amino acid indel in the ligand-binding domain of Kākāpō ESR1 that may increase sensitivity to phytoestrogens.

Therefore, we hypothesize that compound(s) present in the diet of kākāpō influences their reproductive success. It is possible that these compounds act on a range of receptors that have downstream effects on the birds’ fertility or fecundity. In this PhD study, a suite of sensitive kākāpō-specific yeast bioassays will be developed, to examine the interaction of rimu fruit extracts, and other native flora with several nuclear receptors, namely, oestrogen receptors a and b (ESR1 and ESR2 respectively) and androgen receptor (AR), as well as the cytosolic transcription factor aryl-hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). 

2022 Ph.D Scholarship WInners

This year we awarded three Ph.D Scholarships. Our winners are Solomon Gurmu Beka, Maria Rabino Neira and Natalie Germann.

You can read about them here.

S olomon Gurmu Beka

Solomon Gurmu Beka is a Ph.D. Candidate in Aviation Medicine at the University of Otago, under the supervision of   Dr. Robin Griffiths . Solomon is from East Africa, Ethiopia. Solomon served at Ethiopian Air Force Hospital, mainly as a Consultant Emergency Surgery Professional Specialist and Aviation Medical Examiner for the last seven years and he is a Public Health Expert. Solomon studied at the University of Gondar and Wollo University, Ethiopia. He did research and thesis at both Universities for the fulfillment of his undergraduate and post-graduate studies consecutively. Additionally, he is the President of the Ethiopian Emergency Surgery Association (EESA) and a Member of the Board of Directors at the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES). He has participated in different clinical and public health services, health-related volunteer services, and research activities, and published in different international journals.

His dissertation focuses on developing tools for flight safety risk mitigation strategies in airline aviation personnel. Solomon will conduct a systematic literature review, and then results with high statistical predictive values from reviewed literature will be considered. A modified Delphi survey design will be used to develop a screening tool that is acceptable and practicable for aviation medical assessment by a group or panel of informed individuals or specialists in the field of aerospace medicine. These experts will contribute their opinion to develop a screening tool. Finally, the proposed tool developed from the feedback of experts will be tested with participants for validation through a cross-sectional study. The acceptability and feasibility of the proposed screening tool will be tested with a mixed methods study approach within other aviation personnel settings.

Maria Rabino-Neira

Maria Rabino-Neira is an International Humanitarian lawyer (University of Buenos Aires, Argentina) and Magister in Conflicts & Terrorism (University of Auckland, New Zealand). She has previously engaged in peace-building processes, humanitarian interventions and transitional justice tribunals. Maria has also worked in several international organisations, including the United Nations Mission in Colombia, World Vision New Zealand and the New Zealand Red Cross. Currently, she is doing her Ph.D in the School of Law at the Victoria University of Wellington, under the supervision of Professor Alberto Costi and Dr Marnie Lloydd. 

Maria’s Research

The Rules of Armed Conflicts or International Humanitarian Law (IHL) are a set of principles and rules that aim to limit the effects of armed conflict and provide a balance between the military necessity and the humanitarian necessity to protect the victims of war. Despite these efforts, over the last two decades, an increased tendency to normalize violence against neutral actors and direct attacks against civilians, medical units and humanitarian workers has been recognized in those armed conflicts with designated terrorist organizations. These situations not only reflect the insufficient compliance with the humanitarian principles by non-state armed groups but also embody the limitations of counter-terrorism frameworks to mitigate terrorism in armed conflicts. Scholars at Harvard Law School have recognized that  “If the current trajectory continues, two possibilities seem likely to come to pass. One is that counterterrorism measures may further constrain the practical scope of impartial humanitarian activities. A second is that an ever-expanding counterterrorism system will ultimately redefine what constitutes legitimate humanitarian activities.” (Lewis, D. and Modirzadeh, N.,   2021 : 10-11).  

Maria’s research investigates the interplay between International Humanitarian Law and the Counter-terrorism normative framework to understand better how the protection of humanitarian workers can be improved in armed conflicts with terrorist organizations. This research aims to influence the policy frameworks and behavioral conduct of relevant actors, such as military forces and non-state armed groups, and enhance compliance to the humanitarian principles to prevent aid workers from being targeted and killed in war.
