Kingston School of Art invites applications for fully funded full
and part time PhD studentships available for an October 2019 start through the TECHNE Doctoral Training Partnership funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).
We offer the highest quality research expertise across the arts and humanities and aim to develop and support the next generation of researchers. Our community consists of over
250 PhD students and in 2018-19 we were awarded 14 AHRC TECHNE studentships.
TECHNE provides an outstanding graduate training experience, drawing together the best of traditional scholarship, history, theory and practice across
ten higher education institutions in London and the South East with extensive collaboration from 15 world-leading partners including the Natural History Museum, Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, the Science Museum and Crafts Council.
TECHNE has approximately 60 scholarships to award each year across
a range of arts and humanities disciplines. Learn more about the TECHNE

fees and a maintenance (stipend) grant for three years full-time or part-time equivalent for six years.
Stipend rates for 2019-20 are yet to be announced - for 2018-19 it was £16,777. International (overseas) students are not eligible to apply for AHRC studentships and EU students
