AHRC Scholarships

AHRC scholarships are fully-funded, i.e. they cover payment of full home fees and a maintenance stipend. They are principally available to UK nationals who have been normally resident in the UK for the three years prior to their nomination for funding. If a student is a national of a Member State of the European Union other than the UK, they are eligible for a full studentship award if they can establish a relevant connection with the UK and Islands, i.e. if they have been ordinarily resident in the UK throughout the three year period immediately preceding the start of their course. EU students who cannot establish a relevant connection with the UK and Islands may be eligible for a fees-only award. Full details regarding eligibility are set out in the AHRC's Guide to Student Funding.

More information about the AHRC and the Block Grant Partnership awards is available from the AHRC's website.

Students wishing to be considered for an AHRC studentship must first apply to the University for a place of study, using the standard postgraduate application form available online through the Admissions website. Under 'Intended Source of Funding', please select 'Research Council - AHRC'. The deadline for submitting this application, including all supporting documentation (references, transcripts, research proposal, etc.) is Friday 8 March 2013. The University cannot guarantee that incomplete applications will be considered for an AHRC award, although they will still be considered for a place of study.
