The School of Geography, University of Leeds, welcomes applications for PhD funding through the AHRC White Rose College of Arts and Humanities. In particular, we are looking for applications in the areas of heritage and material culture.
Full time AHRC competition studentships for doctoral research are 3 years in duration (5 or 6 years part-time). Awards must be taken up on 1st October 2018 – no deferrals are possible. AHRC studentships are only available to students from the UK or European Union. Applications cannot be accepted from students liable to pay fees at the Overseas rate.
