PhD Studentship in the School of Histories, Languages & Cultures

Description

The School of Histories, Languages and Cultures at the University of Liverpool is pleased to invite applications for one fees-only PhD studentship. This bursary provides three years of full-time funding at the home-student rate (£4,539 in 2021/22). This competition is open to all Home students who will be commencing PhD studies at the University of Liverpool in the autumn of 2021.

The School of Histories, Languages & Cultures, one of four Schools in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, is one of the largest and most diverse Schools in the University, exploring culture and society from the origins of humanity and ancient history to modern day politics. We work across a number of different disciplines, brought together by shared research interests in history and heritage, languages and literatures, power, conflict and resolution. The School includes the Departments of Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology; History; Irish Studies; Modern Languages & Cultures; and Politics.

In order to be eligible for this fees-only studentship, you will need to have already applied for a PhD place at the University of Liverpool, to be based in one of the School’s five Departments, prior to the deadline for this competition. The award will be made on the basis of the academic merit of your University of Liverpool PhD application, and its alignment with the current research strengths of the School.
