Scottish Graduate School for Arts & Humanities: AHRC-funded PhD Studentship Competition 2015
AHRC has funded a Doctoral Training Partnership of 8 Scottish HEIs, including the University of Glasgow to fund around 55 PhD studentships per annum for five years from 2014. The 2015 competition is now open.
Successful applicants will benefit from fees, stipend and significant additional flexible funding to shape their doctoral training to meet their individual needs. SGSAH students will have access to the rich resources available in all Scottish HEIs as well as unique training opportunities developed in partnership with SGSAH's 29 founding supporter organisations. These prestigious and internationally-renowned organisations include the National Museum of Scotland, the National Library of Scotland, the National Theatre of Scotland, Scottish Ballet, the National Galleries of Scotland, BBC Scotland, Scottish Opera, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and the Royal Scottish Chamber Orchestra, the Edinburgh International Book and Film Festivals, the Scottish Sculpture Workshop and a diverse range of local and regional arts, culture and heritage organisations. They have committed to support students in a variety of ways including exclusive access to training events, mentoring, talks, visits and funded placements and internships.
Applicants must have been accepted to study a PhD at one of the DTP members, which are Glasgow School of Art and the Universities of Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, St Andrews, Strathclyde and Stirling, and must be nominated by their HEI. Residency eligibility criteria apply. Full details and the application form are available on the SGSAH website http://www.sgsah.ac.uk/studentships/.
