A. BACKGROUND
The Indonesian Arts and Culture Scholarship has been conducted since 2003 and was initially offered to and participated by member countries of the South West Pacific Dialogue (SwPD); Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Timor-Leste, and the host Indonesia.
Bearing in mind the significance and advantages obtained from the program, the offer was expanded over the years to include member countries of ASEAN, ASEAN+3, and PIF, as well as India and South Africa. In 2008, Indonesia welcomed the participation of Azerbaijan, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Since 2009, Austria has joined the program and in 2010 the Government of Indonesia has given the opportunity for participants from France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Spain and Suriname. This year, Indonesia will invite participant from Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic and Turkey to join the program.
Due to the limited space and the vast amount of interest in the program, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia in cooperation with Indonesian embassies and consulates overseas, hold a series of selection process. Taken into considerations are, among others, the participants’ background, gender and regional representation.
In order to deepen the participants’ understanding of Indonesian arts and culture, and to enhance their skills for the final performance, participants will be divided and assigned by the organising committee to different arts centers for the duration of approximately two and a half month. The arts centers are located in Bandung, West Java; Denpasar, Bali; Solo, Central Java; Surabaya, East Java; and Bandar Lampung, Lampung.
Participants will live within or around the arts centers, allowing for the chance to experience the local heritage and interact with the local community. Synergy between theory and practices shared inside and outside the art centers would undoubtedly become the driving force for shaping international cultures and norms, and will eventually strengthen regional as well as global understanding and cooperation at a people-to-people level.
B. OBJECTIVE
The program serves to demonstrate Indonesia’s commitment in advancing the social culture cooperation of various countries in the world. The program also has an objective to encourage better understanding amongst participants Indonesia’s immensely diverse art and cultural heritage.

D. TIME
The non-degree arts and culture scholarship is offered for three months period of time, starting on 25 April to 29 July 2011.
E. LOCATION
The participants will be divided into five groups and assigned to the five arts centers (sanggar) located in Bandar Lampung, Lampung; Bandung, West Java; Denpasar, Bali; Solo, Central Java and Surabaya, East Java.
F. LIST OF COURSES
In Bandung, West Java, participants will learn Sundanese art and culture namely the production, maintenance and appreciation to angklung; karawitan, wayang golek, and traditional dance of Sunda. They will also learn Sundanese and Indonesian Language as a component of the culture.
The participants will learn Javanese art and culture such as the process of batik and its significance; karawitan; traditional Javanese dance; and Javanese language and culture in Solo and Surabaya.
In Bali, the participants will learn Balinese art and culture, namely Balinese dance and gamelan. Each art centre will also arrange special visit to several historic as well as renowned tourist destinations for participants.
In Bandar Lampung, Lampung, the participants will learn Sumateran art and culture such as selected Sumatera dance and traditional instruments. The center will also arrange extra-curricular activities, excursions and field study.
Prior to their residency at art centres, the participants will undertake 10 days of orientation in Jakarta and will learn issues such as the Aim and Objectives of the Scholarship; Introduction to Indonesian Culture; Information about Bandung, Solo, Surabaya, Denpasar and Bandar Lampung.

About the award

• The award is for full time postgraduate PhD research students only;
• The award will cover all tuition fees whether at the Home/EU rate or the overseas rate. It is therefore open to both UK and overseas applicants.
• Only applicants who have completed the online application process to the PhD programme prior to the funding submission deadline will be considered for funding. Find out how to apply for the PhD programme.
• Applicants should be aware that the School of Law PhD programme has various entrance requirements which applicants are expected to meet, including, for example, academic performance requirements relating to previously taken taught postgraduate degrees in a law or law-related subject. For applicants applying for a studentship jointly provided by another School within the University, a postgraduate degree in a topic relating to the specific subject area outlined for the award is required.
• In addition, an award of at least £15,590 per year (reviewed annually) will be paid to the recipient on a monthly basis throughout the calendar year starting from September 2011.
• The award is renewable over three years of study while in full time enrolment, subject to satisfactory annual progress reports;
• At the end of the three years, research students sometimes need further time to complete their research and thesis. This is known as `writing up` time. Students only move to writing up when their supervisor confirms that the student has submitted a satisfactory first full draft of the entire thesis for the supervisor`s review and the Director of Graduate Studies is satisfied that the student can complete within the year. The writing-up period does not attract full tuition fees, although a reduced writing up fee may be payable. A student in writing up is responsible for his/her own living costs as well as for any writing up fee;
• The award is for new applicants looking to enrol at the beginning of the coming academic year, in September 2011 (or, in exceptional circumstances, the following January 2012 – for example, for current UK LLM students who will only graduate in November 2011). Therefore, existing PhD students who have already enrolled prior to September are not eligible to apply for the award.
• Successful recipients of this award may be required to undertake teaching and/or support duties within the School of Law (or the other School in the University involved, if it is a joint award) ;
• The studentships are awarded on the basis of academic excellence and financial need. The application process for these awards is highly competitive.
• The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, the body that awards the Studentships in the last instance, requires applicants to submit a 750-1000 word summary of their Research Proposal along with their funding application.

This summary must address the following questions:

• What is the subject of your proposed doctoral dissertation? (500 words maximum). Please include a brief title

Lotus is an Erasmus Mundus Action Two Partnership (EMA2) of European and South-East Asian Higher Education Institutions (HEI) and Associations aiming at fostering mutual enrichment and better understanding between the EU and South-East Asia (China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, Indonesia, Thailand), through the exchange of persons, knowledge and skills at higher education level and to co-operate in the following program activities:

* Mobility of undergraduate and graduate students
* Mobility of PhD students
* Post-doc mobility
* Academic and administrative staff mobility


The types of mobility to be funded are:

* For students: undergraduate, master, doctorate and post-doctorate mobility opportunities
* For academic staff: exchanges for the purposes of teaching, practical training and research


This project is to give South-East Asian students and staff the possibility to go to a European University to improve, enrich, learn, experience, .... their own knowledge and skills.

Please bear in mind that the scholarships are only granted to South-East Asian students and staff coming to Europe.

The grant covers:

* Monthly subsistence allowance
* Travel ticket
* Insurance
* Tuition fee


To enable students to benefit in a linguistic, cultural and educational way from the experience of pursuing academic studies in another country, all students should have a thorough command of English (this can only be proven by means of internationally recognized documents, p.e. IELTS certificate, TOEFL, First Certificate of Cambridge, an English diploma, a Degree obtained in English). Please note, however, that this also depends on the language requirements of the host universities within the Lotus project.
