The IHSSR brings together over 170 academic staff from seven distinct, 
yet interconnected subject areas: English/Film/Creative Writing, 
History, Politics, Philosophy, Sociology, Languages and Information & 
Communication. It is home to the Centre of Research in Library and 
Information Management, the Manchester Centre for Regional History, the 
Gothic Studies Centre, the Centre for the Study of Football and its 
Communities, the Centre for Film, Languages and Media Pedagogy, the 
Manchester Centre for Youth Studies, and the Manchester Writing School.  
We have a long history of successful research supervision in all areas 
of the Humanities and we welcome collaborative research proposals as 
well as traditional PhD projects.


Research candidates will be provided with expert supervision, including 
cross-institutional supervision and mentoring where appropriate, both 
subject-specific and generic training, and professional support to 
prepare for and develop a career.


These highly competitive and prestigious AHRC-funded studentships are 
managed by the North West Consortium Doctoral Training Partnership. The 
scheme offers fully funded, three-year studentships with the possibility 
of up to an additional six months for placement or professional 
experience. The awards are made competitively across the seven 
consortium members and 19 subject pathways. Last year Manchester 
Metropolitan University received three awards.


For further details about the scheme at MMU please email the relevant 
pathway lead identified above, or for more general information contact 
Dr Paul Wake ((p.wake /at/ mmu.ac.uk)).


Funding for these studentships is conditional on attaining a place in 
the MMU Graduate School (application deadline 23 January 2015, followed 
by an interview) and a further successful application to the AHRC North 
West Consortium Doctoral Training Partnership (deadline 13 February 2015).

Full details on the studentships are available from the North West 
Consortium Doctoral Training Partnership. Further information on 
research degrees at MMU can be found on the MMU Graduate School website.
