The scholarship is available for the following project:

Who are the vocational students? The equality and diversity challenge for the vocational route in the UK

Supervisor: Professor Alison Fuller


Over a third of 16-18 year olds are taking vocational courses or apprenticehips. This proportion is likely to rise following the raising of the participation age to 17 in 2013 and 18 in 2015. Little is known about the social characteristics (e.g. gender, ethnic background, social class, disability) of those participating in different kinds and levels of vocational programmes, and the motivations and experiences of vocational learners. The purpose of this project is to generate new knowledge about the demographic and social profile of the population (aged 16-18) pursuing the vocational route and the factors influencing their participation and transitions. The research will involve analysis of quantitative administrative data and qualitative research into young people's decision-making processes and experiences.

To apply for the above scholarship, please follow the instructions at:
