The School of Humanities at the University of Westminster is pleased to offer two studentships for PhD researchers starting in September 2023 or January 2024.
The School of Humanities, based in the University’s historic Regent Street building, offers a vibrant, multidisciplinary research environment. It is home to the Hub for Migration, Exile, Languages and Spaces (HoMELandS)<https://www.westminster.ac.uk/research/groups-and-centres/homelands>, the Institute for Modern and Contemporary Culture<https://www.westminster.ac.uk/research/groups-and-centres/institute-for-modern-and-contemporary-culture>, the Contemporary China Centre<https://www.westminster.ac.uk/research/groups-and-centres/contemporary-china-centre> and the Westminster Forum for Language and Linguistics<https://www.westminster.ac.uk/research/groups-and-centres/westminster-forum-for-language-and-linguistics>. We have a well-established PhD programme with 40 current PhD students. The wide range of disciplines include:

  *   Arabic Studies
  *   Contemporary Chinese Studies
  *   English Language
  *   English Literature
  *   French and Francophone Studies
  *   History
  *   Linguistics

In English Language and Linguistics, we offer the following specialisms:

  *   Language variation and change
  *   Language and gender, language and politics
  *   Language contact, including the study of codeswitching and creole languages
  *   History of English

Research in the School across these fields has an international reputation for excellence, as confirmed by the 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF), resulting in increased funding from Research England for our School. The successful candidates will have exceptional research potential in one or more of these areas, and we welcome applications for doctoral projects which span two or more areas of expertise.
Applications are invited for the following award(s), which can incorporate any of the subject areas listed above and are tenable for up to three years for full-time study:

  *   English Literature
  *   English Language
  *   History
  *   Linguistics
  *   Modern and Applied Languages
  *   Visual Culture
The studentships will consist of a fee waiver for three years and an annual stipend for three years. Please note that while overseas fee-paying students may apply, the fee waived would be at the home rate and successful applicants will need to pay the difference in the tuition fee if assessed as overseas.
The studentships will include comprehensive personal and professional development training, and a mentoring programme, provided through the University of Westminster Graduate School. The University of Westminster has a strong commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion and is keen on fostering supportive research, learning and working environment. We especially welcome applications from Black and Minority Ethnic students and from those belonging to other groups that are historically under-represented in research.
