Sasakawa MA and PhD Studentships in Japanese Studies
(closing date 04 March 2022)
The Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation has generously allocated up to three Postgraduate Studentships to the University of Leeds, as part of its programme to support the study of Japan in UK. The University will nominate up to three applicants and the final selection will be done by GBSF. East Asian Studies at 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 2022.


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 for 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.
