Beasiswa DIKTI

Beasiswa S2/S3 Luar Negeri dengan APBN

LATAR BELAKANG

UU Nomor 20 Tahun 2003 tentang Sistem Pendidikan Nasional, dan Permen Nomor 42 Tahun 2007 tentang Sertifikasi Dosen, mewajibkan dosen harus memiliki strata pendidikan minimal satu tingkat lebih tinggi dari para mahasiswa yang diajarnya. Hal ini disebabkan karena Dosen merupakan SDM perguruan tinggi yang memiliki peran yang sangat sentral dan strategis dalam seluruh aktivitas di perguruan tinggi. Tinggi-rendahnya kualitas dosen akan sangat menentukan tinggi-rendahnya kualitas suatu perguruan tinggi.

Untuk memberikan kesempatan studi lanjut, Pemerintah menyediakan dana BPPS bagi dosen untuk melanjutkan studinya di program Pascasarjana Dalam Negeri. Namun, untuk lebih meningkatkan kualitas dosen berskala internasional, mulai tahun 2008, Direktorat Ketenagaan Ditjen Dikti sebagai unit yang mempunyai tugas dalam pembinaan, pelatihan dan pengembangan tenaga akademik, menyediakan beasiswa untuk studi lanjut S-2 dan S-3 di luar negeri.

1. Merupakan beasiswa yang berasal dari APBN.
2. Bersifat terbuka untuk semua dosen tetap Perguruan Tinggi, baik PTN maupun PTS di Indonesia.
3. Lama pemberian beasiswa adalah maksimum 3 tahun untuk program S-3 dan 2 tahun untuk program S-2.

6. Pengalokasian beasiswa “Program Beasiswa Pascasarjana Luar Negeri” (PBPLN) Ditjen Dikti dilakukan melalui Pimpinan Perguruan Tinggi (Rektor untuk PTN, dan Pimpinan Kopertis untuk PTS) dari masing-masing calon penerima beasiswa. Untuk itu, Pimpinan PT/Kopertis menyelenggarakan kontrak kerja dengan Dirjen Dikti.

Masters Studentships

History of Medicine

School of Historical Studies

The School of Historical Studies at Newcastle University is pleased to advertise between 2 and 4 Masters Studentship Awards for postgraduate study in Newcastle’s Wellcome Trust recognised MA programme in the History of Medicine during the academic year 2008-9. The closing date for applications is 14 April 2008.

The stipends for these awards will be set as follows: EITHER c. £5,000 (including home/EU-fees) for full-time home/EU students; OR £10,000 (including international fees) for non-EU students of outstanding merit. Part time studentships will be awarded to meritorious applicants at c. half the above rate per annum. The studentships are funded by the Northern Centre for the History of Medicine and will be available as of September 2008. The Centre is a partnership between the Universities of Newcastle and Durham, and is supported by the Wellcome Trust. Successful applicants would join the postgraduate community based at the School of Historical Studies at Newcastle University. Postgraduate teaching and research supervision in the History of Medicine at Newcastle is delivered by scholars with established international reputations in the field.

The MA in the History of Medicine incorporates 3 compulsory formal research training components (30 credits), during which students develop research skills and methodologies; a compulsory core module ‘Introduction to the History of Medicine’ (30 credits), and 2 special study options (60 credits); and culminates in the completion of an intensively researched 14,000 word dissertation (60 credits). Study consists mainly of seminars, tutorials and independent learning. The programme provides the necessary research training that will either link into further PhD and postgraduate academic study, or act as a stand alone MA. Candidates who have successfully completed the programme will be eligible to take part in the annual Wellcome Trust PhD studentship competition. The MA also provides the key skills and training for a wide range of careers both within and outside of Higher Education.

Eligibility: Applications for the studentship are invited from highly motivated
graduates from various backgrounds including the Humanities and Social Sciences (e.g. History, Classics, Philosophy, Literature, Religious Studies, Archaeology, Psychology, Sciences, Sociology etc.). Applicants require a good (or predicted) undergraduate degree result (1st or high 2:1) in such a subject. Candidates with a medical background are also encouraged to apply, and the studentship is open to current stage 4 Newcastle medical students who have opted to take the MA in the History of Medicine as an intercalated degree after stage 4 MBBS. Applications from overseas candidates with equivalent qualifications are also very welcome.

Application procedure: In order to be considered for this competition, applicants must first have secured a place in the programme by completing and submitting the University’s online postgraduate application form for the MA in the History of Medicine and receiving written confirmation of acceptance to the programme. Once this is the case, applicants are asked to send: i) a CV; ii) a personal statement and letter of application outlining reasons for wanting to pursue postgraduate study in the history of medicine at Newcastle and highlighting specific research interests (max 300 words), and iii) references from two academic referees. Applications should be sent to the Postgraduate Secretary, Ms Sandra Fletcher, School of Historical Studies, University of Newcastle, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 7RU, to arrive no later than 14 April 2008.

However, if successful in both that competition and the NCHM competition applicants would not be able to hold both awards
