Techne AHRC Doctoral Training Partnership Studentships at the University
of Westminster
The University of Westminster is one of the nine universities that make
up the AHRC-funded technē Doctoral Training Partnership.
Technē supports outstanding students pursuing the craft of research
through innovative, inter-disciplinary and creative approaches across a
range of the arts and humanities. For more information on technē and the
kinds of projects it funds, visit the Techne website
http://www.techne.ac.uk/phd-funding-2019-in-the-arts-and-humanities
As well as financial support, technē offers a developmental framework
for doctoral researchers across the collaborating institutions, with
research training, supportive community networks, professional and
public engagement opportunities and a space for both independent and
collaborative scholarship.
Technē is now welcoming applications for fully-funded studentships
across the arts and humanities beginning in autumn 2019.
At Westminster we are offering technē studentships in the following areas:
- Centre for Research and Education in Arts and Media (CREAM): The
Centre was judged by REF 2014 as the UK’s leading research centre
working across art and design, with a rating of 95% of our research as
world leading or internationally excellent.

- Communication and Media Research Institute (CAMRI): A world-leading
centre of media and communication research that conducts research and
research education focused on the role of media, culture and
communication(s) in society and the critical study of media and power.

- English Literature, English Language and Visual Culture (part of
School of Humanities)
The research publications of the School’s staff in English Language,
Literature and Linguistics were ranked by REF 2014 as being in the top
20 of departments in the UK and we also have internationally excellent
research in Visual Culture.

Studentships include maintenance and fees for three years for a full
time student, or six years for a part-time student.
Normally to be eligible for a full award a student must have no
restrictions on how long they can stay in the UK and have been
ordinarily resident in the UK for at least 3 years prior to the start of
the studentship. EU students are eligible for a full award if they have
been ordinarily resident in the UK throughout the three-year period
preceding the start of the studentship (including for full time
education). Residential eligibility is based on a physical presence in
the UK. To be eligible for a fees-only award, a student must be
ordinarily resident in a member state of the EU.
Studentships are open to students who have already started their
doctoral study but they must have at least 50% of the funded period of
an AHRC award (usually 18 months) remaining at the time they start their
scholarship.
If you are interested in applying for a place at the University of
Westminster supported by a technē studentship, we strongly recommend you
first contact a member of the academic staff in the relevant area and
talk to them about your proposal.
Contact and application details, see:
https://www.westminster.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/research-degrees/studentships/techne-doctoral-training-partnership-studentships
You must apply for one of these programmes in order to be eligible for a
technē studentship. If you apply for programmes in other areas your
application will not be eligible.
Please make sure you indicate on your application form that you wish to
be considered for a technē studentship.
Application deadline
The deadline for applications is 4 January 2019
Interviews will be held in the week commencing 4 February 2019.
If the university decides to nominate your application to technē, it
will then be put forward by the university to the technē review panel.
The final decision on the allocation of studentships rests with the
technē review panel.
