Bloomsbury Colleges PhD Studentships
The Bloomsbury Colleges are offering 10 PhD studentships available for PhD studies beginning in the academic year 2021/22. The studentships will cover tuition fees (at the home fee rate) and a stipend (the stipend rate was £17,285 per annum for 2020/21) for up to 3 years.
The projects available encompass a wide range of topics and reflect the diversity of disciplines represented in the consortium. Each of these studentships will be supervised by two of the partner colleges as indicated after each studentship, with the lead college listed first. Successful students will be registered with the lead college in each case.
