NUAcT PhD Studentship – Nineteenth-Century France
Award Summary
The studentship will cover 100% of home tuition fees and comes with an annual stipend tracking UKRI funding rates (£19,237 FTE in 2024-25), and a generous research expenses allowance. Home and international applicants are welcome to apply. Successful international candidates will need to be able to fund the difference between home fees and international tuition fees (applications can be made to the university NUORS scheme for assistance, but it is competitive and cannot be guaranteed).

Their research will be supervised by Dr Hannah Scott and a second co-supervisor, to be selected depending on the particular focus of the project.
