There are four partial postgraduate research studentships available in the School of Historical Studies.
The studentships are only available to students embarking upon their first year of study of a PhD or MPhil in a subject offered by the School - Archaeology, Ancient History, Classics, History or History of Medicine. The studentships are non-renewable in further years.
Each studentship covers tuition fees for one year only at UK/EU rates (part-time students may apply and spread their studentship over the first two years of part-time study).
