The College of Humanities at the University of Exeter and the Graduate School of
Arts and Humanities at Bristol are offering three new exciting collaborative funding
opportunities for exceptional researchers across a range of arts and humanities
subjects.
This new partnership will fund up to three studentships per year, with successful
applicants benefiting from access to the rich postgraduate research environments of
both institutions.
Applicants for these awards will need to demonstrate how their research proposal
links to one of the following research areas where Exeter and Bristol have
recognised common and complementary fields of research expertise:

These studentships will offer a fully funded standard doctoral studentship which
includes full tuition fee cover and an annual maintenance stipend for a maximum of
three years (six years part-time), subject to satisfactory progress.
Entry criteria
We invite applications from candidates with a strong academic background and a
clear and engaging research proposal which can be developed through research
supervision available at both institutions. Successful applicants normally have a good
first degree (at least 2.1, or international equivalent) in a relevant field of humanities,
