Funding Amount: Fee waiver and stipend
The School of Humanities is pleased to invite applications to its PhD programmes in Literature, Media, Screen Studies and the Humanities. There are currently two funding options for doctoral students in these subject areas. The first is the AHRC-funded TECHNE studentships. Aiming to develop the next generation of researchers, this requires successful applicants to write an original thesis and to develop partnership work with an external organisation. The second opportunity is the University of Brighton studentship scheme, which asks successful applicants to produce an original thesis only. Both schemes offer the highest quality research supervision.
The School of Humanities welcomes applications in a wide range of subjects in the fields of Literature, Media, Screen Studies and the Humanities. In Literature, these subjects include authors, genres, periods and movements from Early Modern to Twenty-First Century literature.
TECHNE Doctoral Training Partnership TECHNE provides an outstanding graduate training experience, drawing together the best of traditional scholarship, history, theory and practice across seven higher education institutions in London and the South East, with extensive collaboration from 13 world-leading partners including the Natural History Museum, the Barbican, the BFI and English PEN. (Last year, the University gained five studentships through the scheme, and we hope that this number will rise this year.)

University of Brighton Studentships The Doctoral College also have a number of University of Brighton awards for an October 2015 start. Students who apply to the TECHNE scheme will be automatically considered for a University award and we will guarantee funding to our very best applicants. University awards are also open to international applicants.
