Sasakawa MA and PhD Studentships in Japanese Studies

(closing date 18 March 2021)

The University of Leeds invites applications from suitably qualified candidates who wish to pursue a taught MA programme in Film Studies with a focus on Japanese cinema, a MA by research (MAR) in Japanese Studies or a PhD in Japanese Studies starting October 2021.

The Sasakawa Postgraduate Studentships are worth £10,000 and they are tenable for one year only; it is possible, however, to reapply the following year up to a maximum of three years (for those studying for a PhD) or four years (for students pursuing MA or MAR, and then PhD).

Any aspect of Japanese studies or any discipline subject where Japan is the primary focus of the research will be considered. Prior knowledge of the Japanese language is not a condition.
