PhD Scholarship in French Language and Culture

Overview

The Department of Modern Languages is offering excellent funding opportunities for exceptional researchers in the area of French Language and Culture studies. We are offering:

Up to two AHRC Doctoral Awards (open to UK/EU students only): all tuition fees paid for three years. UK students will also receive an annual maintenance grant for three years, which we expect to be £13,590 per year.

The Department of Modern Languages is one of the UK’s leading centres for teaching and research in French, German, Hispanic, Italian, Russian, Film, and Sexuality and Gender Studies. Our research covers critical theory, culture, history, linguistics and literature, and we have cross-disciplinary strengths in a number of areas, including Linguistics, Film, the Study of Sexuality and Gender and Translation Studies. Many staff in Modern Languages currently hold awards from Research Councils and similar funding bodies on subjects ranging from Immigrants’ Italian, German and Austrian exhibitions since 1995 about the National Socialist past, Obscenity in Renaissance France, to costume-drama films of the 1950s.
