PhD Studentships
The University of Winchester will have a number of fully-funded PhD studentships, attached to Research Centres, available from February 2009 for three years. Candidates should have, or expect to obtain, a first class or upper second class degree and a Masters degree in a relevant subject area. The studentships are reserved for potential full-time students.
The University is a dynamic institution with an ambitious research agenda. As one of the UK's smallest and most innovative universities, we offer a stimulating research environment and rigorous research training combined with the intimacy and personal interaction only a small institution can afford. We have established strengths in subject areas ranging across: archaeology, communication, cultural and media studies; dance, drama and performing arts (including contemporary performance across disciplines) ; English and creative writing; education; history; theology and religious studies.
Within and across these disciplines, our research centres create effervescent communities of reflection that explore new knowledges across the scholarly continuum.
Subject areas for proposals are open, but must be within the remit of the Research Centre within which you hope to work. Please refer to our website for further information on Research Centres, and please feel free to approach academic members of staff for advice. For all information and initial inquiries, contact Chrissie Ferngrove at the address below. Information on our research centres is available at http://www.winchest er.ac.uk/ ?page=3532.
If you are unsure whether your proposed project can be supervised, please submit a paragraph explaining what you are intending to do, by email to Chrissie Ferngrove (again, see below), for onward transmission to the relevant Faculty Head of Research & Knowledge Exchange.
Applications are welcome from domestic, EU and non-EU International Students. From 1 February 2008, the University is offering domestic tuition rates to all overseas doctoral students who qualify for study.
Existing Probationer research students at the University of Winchester may also apply.
