The White Rose College of the Arts & Humanities (WRoCAH) is a Doctoral Training Partnership of the Universities of Leeds, Sheffield and York. The College is responsible for the distribution of AHRC-funded doctoral studentships for these universities and for the coordination of a doctoral training programme.

You can make one application for funding through the open competition at either Leeds, Sheffield or York. Projects are welcome from all departments, not just in the faculty of Arts and Humanities, so long as the research falls within the remit of the AHRC.

Eligibility

Open to International (including EU) and UK (home) students.

Open to students in the Department of English and Related Literature.

To be eligible to apply for funding, you must have applied for a PhD programme at one of Leeds, Sheffield or York. The competition is open to all candidates, whether home or international. However, please note that if you are awarded a studentship, we are not permitted to cover the costs associated with moving to the UK or to your new university. All such costs (visa, health surcharge, flights, etc.) will need to be covered by you or you will need to find an alternative funding source.

How to apply

Application deadline: Wednesday 22 January 2025, 5pm GMT

The studentship application form and the guidance notes for applicants are available from the WRoCAH website.
