Postgraduate Research Funding: AHRC and College Studentships available in
the Department of Music at Royal Holloway University of London
Those intending to study for PhD in the Department are able to apply for
Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) studentships and for College
studentships through a single process. The AHRC studentships (stipend and
fee waiver) are offered through the TECHNE Doctoral Training Partnership (
http://www.techne-research.co.uk ) which is led by Royal Holloway and
includes six other universities in London and the South East. TECHNE offers
a rich and diverse training programme for doctoral students with a focus on
interdisciplinarity. The training programme is enhanced by input and
placement opportunities provided by TECHNE’s 13 partner organisations
(including the Barbican, Natural History Museum, Museum of London, BFI and
Science Museum) in the cultural sector.
The Department is also able to recommend students for College studentships
(which may consist of a stipend and fee waiver or just a fee waiver).
Approximately £380,000 is available for postgraduate studentships across
the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. In the main College scholarships
will be awarded by a Faculty Panel to students who are unsuccessful in
their application for a TECHNE scholarship.
How to apply
Prospective doctoral students who are interested in applying for a
studentship should proceed as follows:
1. Contact the Postgraduate Admissions Tutor, Dr Paul Harper-Scott (
[log in to unmask]) in the Department to talk informally about
your research proposal and what supervision might be available.
2. If the Department agrees that the proposal may be suitable for a
TECHNE or College studentship, complete both a College application form and
a TECHNE application form. The deadline is the 19th February 2014. The
College application form is available from
http://www.rhul.ac.uk/studyhere/postgraduate/applying/howtoapply.aspxand the TECHNE application form are from
http://www.rhul.ac.uk/studyhere/researchdegrees/feesandfunding/scholarships/ahrc.aspx(Note that by completing the TECHNE application form students will be
considered for both TECHNE scholarships and College scholarships.)
3. When completed please send your TECHNE application form to Dr
Harper-Scott ([log in to unmask]).
You should hear in early April whether the Department will be forwarding
your application for consideration by TECHNE. If your application does go
forward to TECHNE you will hear by the beginning of May whether or not it
has been successful. Unsuccessful TECHNE applicants will be considered
automatically for a College scholarship by a Faculty Panel and you should
hear the outcome in early May.
