Overview

We are now inviting applicants for the fifth award of this annual PhD scholarship in architecture, as part of a generous endowment from David and Mary Forshaw to support women in architectural education and research. Based in the Architecture Research Collaborative (ARC), the PhD may be pursued either by creative practice or by written thesis, with any appropriate supervisory team from ARC’s multidisciplinary membership. In accordance with the terms of the Forshaw endowment, the studentship is open to women applicants only.

The studentship is for a strong project in any area of architectural research within ARC, from history of architecture and design research through to building science. While we expect architecture to be the focus of the candidate’s research and anticipate a background in architecture, we welcome applicants from different relevant backgrounds and fields. 

It is expected that the successful applicant will contribute to research activities and some teaching in the school and take on a role supporting PGR representation within ARC.
