The Faculty of Arts seeks to award 5 fully funded full time research studentships in key strategic areas of the Schools of Architecture, Design and Environment; Art and Media; Humanities and Performing Arts.

The studentships, funded for 3 years, cover Home/EU tuition fees and stipend in line with RCUK levels.

Non Home/EU students are eligible to apply but, if successful, will have to fund the difference between Home/EU and International fees.

The Faculty of Arts welcomes proposals to study for a PhD at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research (ICCMR). Please refer to ICCMR’s website for a glance at our research activity, but proposals do not necessarily need to be associated with an ongoing project. We welcome suggestions for new research topics, including those related to composition.
