Here’s the latest information on applying for funding for a PhD to start in 2020/21.
London Arts and Humanities Partnership (LAHP)
Applicants who wish to be considered for an AHRC-funded studentship must apply directly to the London Arts and Humanities Partnership (LAHP). The deadline for applications to LAHP is January 31.. Only home and EU applicants are eligible to apply for AHRC funding.
Candidates who apply to Queen Mary before 19 January 2020 will automatically be entered for the Queen Mary Principal’s Studentships (QMPS). Home, EU and international applicants are eligible for the QMPS scheme.
BAME Studentships for UK/EU candidates
We encourage applicants from BAME (Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic) groups who have been previously under-represented in this process.
For 2020 entry, the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences will be offering two fully funded doctoral studentships (tuition fees and stipend of £17,009 per year, or £8,505 part-time) to UK or EU applicants from a BAME background. Awards are tenable for up to three years. Applications will also be considered from students who are currently in the first year of a full-time PhD programme, or the first two years of a part-time programme.
To be eligible to apply for these studentships you must be UK or EU permanent residents from a BAME background, and eligible to pay home/EU student fees.
Candidates for the BAME studentships must make an additional application to be considered for these awards. This will consist of:
- Your ID number from your application to a PhD programme at QMUL
- Diversity monitoring information (via a questionnaire)
- A short statement of no more than 500 words detailing the challenges you have experienced pursuing your research.
All these elements should be entered or uploaded to an online application tool administered by QMUL’s Doctoral College, by 1700 on 19 January 2020.
