The studentships will pay UK /EU fees, and provide a maintenance
stipend of £13,290 for up to three years.
The Graduate School offers a multidisciplinary research culture with a
thriving postgraduate community and well-established staff/student
research seminars. Students are supported by a training course in
research practices, which provides a grounding in the methodologies
and research skills that are essential to the professional researcher.

Areas of particular strength are Communication, Culture & Media and
English, both of which were rated at 5 in RAE 2001, and French, which
gained a 4 rating. The School has a successful record of external
grant funding from the major research bodies (e.g. Arts and Humanities
Research Council, British Academy, Leverhulme Trust, Nuffield
Foundation). There is a range of continuing research projects based in
