Studentships

There are up to 23 doctoral studentships available in the 2013/14 academic year:

  • 2 Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Studentships - available to UK or EU PhD applicants to the School of History
  • 1 School Studentship - available to any PhD applicant to the School 
  • 20 University Studentships - available to any PhD applicant to any of the faculty's schools of study admitting postgraduate research students
  • Current PhD students in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities can also apply.

How much would the funding be?

AHRC Studentships:

  • UK applicants - funding covers full course fees and maintenance payment
  • EU applicants - funding covers full course fees only.

University and School Studentships:

  • For UK and EU students funding includes a maintenance payment and covers full course fees
  • For international students funding includes a maintenance payment and covers partial courses fees.  Therefore international students must be able to pay the difference between UK/EU fees and international fees.

Maintenance payment is equivalent to AHRC rates. In 2012-13 maintenance was £13,590 per year for full-time students.

How can I apply?

  • Your application for your PhD must be received by 18 February 2013 in order to be considered for a studentship
  • You do not need to submit a separate application for studentships
  • Current PhD students in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities must initially contact the School PGR Director to discuss their application.

How are studentships awarded?

  • Studentships are awarded on academic merit and the overall strength of the application.

Decisions on the above studentships funding are expected to be made by the Faculty by 1 April 2013 and successful applicants will be advised by that date.
