UK: Arts and Humanities Research Council Studentships at University of Sussex - School of English

Overview

In 2009, the University of Sussex was awarded a substantial number of Doctoral and Research Preparation Masters Studentships for the following five years within an AHRC Block Grant Partnership award.

Developing the research potential and impact of our postgraduate students is integral to our vision for research at Sussex. Postgraduate students will also find support for their research and career development through Sussex's Doctoral School.

For entry in October 2010, the School of English will be offering:

- 4 Doctoral awards in English Language and Literature (including American Literature)

- 1 Doctoral Award in Creative Writing

The Sussex English faculty has an international reputation, attracting outstanding students from all over the world. The diverse research skills of nearly 50 faculty and their commitment to progressive critical analysis place Sussex at the forefront of English studies in the UK, developing and extending the boundaries of the subject.

Faculty encompass a wide span of research strengths and interests that range across most periods of English literature and contemporary critical theory. Particular areas of expertise include: contemporary English and American Writing; Critical and Cultural Theory; Critical and Creative Writing; Drama and Performance; Early Modern Writing; English Language and Linguistics; Image and Text; Modernism/postmodernism; the Novel from the 18th century to the Present; Colonial and Post Colonial Writing; Romantic, Victorian and Modern poetry; Sexuality and Sexual Dissidence.


Value of this Studentship

Full and partial awards are also available for the Doctoral Awards which enable students to undertake and complete a doctoral degree (DPhil). A full award covers fees and an annual, tax free stipend of £13,290 (2009/10 rates). A partial award covers fees only. If you are a part time student, support is pro rata.

The School of English offers a substantial number of individual bursaries (of up to £2000). For further details, please contact Margaret Reynolds, m.reynolds@sussex.ac.uk
