PhD Fellowships in the UK

1. PhD Studentship - University of Winchester

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.winchester.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
