Faculty of Arts PhD Studentship for BAME Applicants

Eligibility
The studentship is open to candidates who:
What the studentship covers
- Home tuition fees for the remainder of a normal PhD period of study (which is three years full-time or six years pro-rata part-time) .
- A stipend which is tax-free, does not need to be paid back and will match the UKRI stipend (as an indication, the UKRI stipend for 2023/24 is £18,662 per year for full-time study, pro-rata part-time).
Your research proposal
Successful applicants will have an extremely well-thought-through proposal which, above all else, shows what the project going to address, why it is important that this should be addressed, and how it will address this.
The project must be clearly focused, feasible (in terms of being completed within three years, and in terms of practical aspects such as methodology), innovative, and timely. We expect research questions to be set out, and for it to be clear how the methodological plans will allow applicants to answer these questions. The proposal needs to be accessible to non-specialists, and to demonstrate the importance of the project and what it brings to the discipline.
How to apply
The scheme has closed for 2024.
