School of Arts & Humanities - Vice Chancellors’ Scholarship Scheme fee waivers

Applications will be assessed in terms of the quality of the proposal, the feasibility of the proposed study, the availability of a suitable supervisory team, and the proposal's alignment with the research theme priorities of the School's Units of Assessment and their relevant research centres. Candidates should state clearly their proposal's fit with the relevant research theme of their subject. Projects that sit outside of the advertised themes will also be considered. Candidates are encouraged to contact a potential supervisor to check how their proposal might relate to the research themes of the current application cycle. We positively encourage applications from groups under-represented in postgraduate research, including (but not limited to) women, LGBTQ+ candidates, Global Majority / BAME candidates, candidates with disabilities, candidates with caring responsibilities, and care leavers. Distance Learning applicants and applicants for PhD by Publication are not eligible for fee waivers in the School of Arts & Humanities.
