StAndrews is part of a block grant of AHRC studentships run in partnership with the Scottish Graduate School for the Arts and Humanities (SGSAH). A select number of studentships will be available for PhD applicants living the UK and the European Union. Successful UK applicants will benefit from fees, stipend and significant additional flexible funding to shape their doctoral training. For successful EU applicants, the AHRC covers fee expenses only. Full details and the application form are available on the SGSAH website _http://www.sgsah.ac.uk/studentships/ <http://www.sgsah.ac.uk/studentships/>_. Only students accepted to a PhD programme are eligible for AHRC funding. To be considered for an AHRC award, you must submit a complete application to our programme no later than *15 December 2016. *If accepted, you will then need to gain School approval to submit a separate application through the SGSAH.

The department will also offer a limited number of internal scholarships for PhD study starting in fall 2017. These scholarships are open to all successful applicants. To be considered for scholarship funding, you must apply no later than *15 March 2016.*

If you are interested in applying to the PhD programme, the first step is to identify and contact a potential supervisor.
