Doctoral Research in Performance at Birmingham Conservatoire
AHRC Midlands3Cities funding for UK/EU students
The Midlands3Cities Doctoral Training Partnership (M3C DTP) is a collaboration between the University of Birmingham, Birmingham City University, De Montfort University, University of Leicester, Nottingham Trent University and The University of Nottingham. M3C is awarding up to 87 PhD Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) studentships for UK/EU applicants for 2017 entry. M3C provides research candidates with expert supervision (including opportunities for cross-institutional supervision), research training and access to a wide range of facilities, cohort events and placement opportunities with regional, national and international partners in the creative and cultural sectors.
Birmingham Conservatoire (part of Birmingham City University) is inviting applications from professional-level performers who wish to explore research questions arising from or related to their own performance practice. Proposals in historical performance practice and/or contemporary practice (including jazz) would be particularly welcome. The doctoral programme at Birmingham Conservatoire allows for a mixed mode of submission including recordings and live performance alongside a written thesis, the balance and relative weighting of these elements to be determined by the nature of the project.
