German at Leeds welcomes applications for PhD scholarships for September 2018
Up to 50 Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Studentships are available through the White Rose College or Arts and Humanities (WRoCAH)
German is part of the School of Languages, Cultures and Societies (LCS) – the largest school of its kind in the UK.
If you are interested in one of these highly competitive scholarships, you should contact a potential supervisor as soon as possible for advice. German at Leeds has been extremely successful in this WRoCAH competition.
In order to help candidates with their applications, our internal deadline for WRoCAH applications is 08 January 2018.
A number of University Research Scholarships are available each year through the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Cultures.
We would like to draw particular attention to the two cross-disciplinary Research Scholarships available from the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Cultures. A number of our current postgraduates work across German Studies and the School of English or the School of History. We very much welcome applications for supervision across schools.
Enquiries about supervision and scholarships may be made to Dr Ingo Cornils (i.cornils@leeds.ac.uk).
