The University of Kent is part of the CHASE AHRC Doctoral Training 
Partnership (alongside the Courtauld Institute of Art, Goldsmiths, 
University of London, the Open University and the Universities of East 
Anglia, Essex and Sussex) and successful applicants for PhD study will 
be able to apply for studentship funding.

Our intellectual environment fosters the problem-driven and cross- and 
interdisciplinary research vital to addressing the new challenges of a 
world shaped by the speed of technological innovation and global change. 
Understanding and promoting the value of human culture and creativity in 
addressing such challenges is central to the CHASE vision of 
postgraduate research and professional development.

We support discipline-based projects, but also specialise in 
interdisciplinary research and research in emerging fields of study and 
creative practice. Our research and training environment encourages our 
doctoral students to develop interdisciplinary methodologies and to 
explore how to integrate their research with developments in digital 
technologies. In addition, our network of partnerships with leading arts 
and humanities organisations and creative industries provides an 
outstanding resource for future CHASE scholars.

Applications for funding will be considered by the University of Kent 
with the best applicants put forward to four CHASE selection panels. 
Applications will be considered on a competitive basis.

For UK students, these awards cover both fees and maintenance and for EU 
residents awards are on a fees only basis. The funding will cover 
professional development opportunities, including the enhancement of 
public engagement skills and placements with CHASE partner organisations 
in the UK and overseas.
