Overview

Oxford Brookes University is delighted to offer three fully funded doctoral research scholarships under the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Landscape Award scheme. We welcome applications from motivated candidates in the Arts and Humanities or related disciplines who wish to undertake innovative and socially engaged research aligned with the University’s commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI).

We particularly encourage applications from individuals from groups that are underrepresented in the Arts and Humanities and in doctoral research, and from candidates whose research proposals address EDI-related themes within the arts and humanities.

Scholarship holders will join the vibrant research community of the University, engaging with interdisciplinary projects that span practice-based work, empirical research, textual and theoretical analysis, industrial studies, and historical or contemporary perspectives.
