Studentship FAQs
When is my funding end date and submission date?
The end date of your ESRC award refers to the end of your funded period of study and the funder expectation is that students submit within their funded period. Students whose funding started before October 2024 may be eligible for writing-up/pending submission period. Students starting from 2024 onwards must submit their thesis within their funded period.
What is the duration of my studentship award?
Please check your funding letter for the duration of your award
Do I need to acknowledge my LISS DTP funding in publications?
Yes, your research publications must acknowledge funding received from research councils. E.g. ‘This work was supported by the Economic and Social Science Research Council [grant number xxxx]’. For more information please see https://www.ukri.org/manage-your-award/publishing-your-research-findings/acknowledging-your-funding/.

What holiday am I entitled to as a LISS DTP student?
Full-time students are allowed up to eight weeks’ holiday (including public holidays) each year as approved by their supervisor. (Pro-rata calculations should be made for part-time students and periods less than a year).
In case of doubt….
If you have any doubts about your award end date or thesis submission deadline throughout your studies, please contact liss-dtp@kcl.ac.uk for clarification. LISS DTP is not automatically notified of changes to dates on internal university systems, so we rely on students keeping us informed so that dates can be aligned.
