University of Winchester


PhD Studentships and Fee Waivers in the Faculty of Arts




These awards are open to candidates who are not already registered for a research degree at Winchester.

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 compulsory for all students, combined with the intimacy and personal interaction only a small institution can afford. We have established strengths in a range of subject areas.

The Faculty of Arts offers a strong research student community, with students working from different disciplinary perspectives. A programme of research seminars and postgraduate research events runs throughout the academic year. In addition, research supervisors and students are involved in organising and hosting national and international symposia and conferences.

Candidates should have, or expect to obtain, a first class or upper second class degree and a Masters degree in a relevant subject area.
