Applications for studentships beginning in 2024 are now closed. Applicants will be notified of outcomes by the beginning of May.

Applications for studentships beginning in 2025 will advertised in October 2024.

The Consortium for the Humanities and the Arts South-East England (CHASE) is delighted to offer up to 56 Arts and Humanities Research Council PhD studentships and is seeking applications from outstanding graduates to undertake doctoral research starting in October 2024. 

CHASE is actively committed to the values of equality, diversity and inclusivity. Mindful of the ‘Broken Pipeline’ report into barriers facing UK BME graduates accessing research council funding, we particularly welcome applicants from Black and Minority Ethnic backgrounds, and are offering additional studentships in partnership with the Stuart Hall Foundation for these candidates. 

Successful applicants will have their fees paid, and receive a stipend to cover living expenses. We offer funding on a full- or part-time basis to accommodate your research alongside other commitments. Additional funds are available for skills development, including language training, placements and to support research expenses. We welcome applications from Home and International students.
