Oxford Brookes University offers a broad range of expertise on Japanese culture and language, but we would be particularly interested in candidates researching ageing and care, precarious or marginalised groups, contemporary Buddhism and other religious practice, film, or popular culture. The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences is home to the Europe Japan Research Centre, and we are one of the only Universities in the UK offering a specialisation in the Anthropology of Japan.

The faculty can nominate candidates for an MPhil/PhDfor a studentship of £10,000, for the 2023/24 academic year. Applications can be made in recurrent years (up to first three) for the same amount. Please note that although you may use your studentship to help towards the cost of your fees, you will be responsible for paying your fees. International applicants should be aware that they will need to fund their fees at the international rate.

Eligibility: We are looking to recruit a candidate with a good first degree (a good 2:1 or above) and a Masters degree with a Merit or above.  The research proposal must focus on Japan. It is important that you and your referees comment on your skill in Japanese in the areas of reading, composition and speaking. Interviews may partly be conducted in conversational Japanese if relevant to your project. Candidates must have submitted an application for admission by the Studentship application deadline.
