PhD Scholarship in Gender and Sexuality

Overview

The College of Humanities is offering excellent funding opportunities for exceptional researchers across a range of subjects in the broad thematic area of Gender and Sexuality Studies within the College of Humanities. 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 College of Humanities at the University of Exeter has considerable research strengths in the area of Gender and Sexuality Studies. We offer a supportive and stimulating environment for postgraduate research and practice and welcome students from all around the world.

Research on gender and sexuality is conducted in all the disciplinary units that make up the College, allowing choice from a considerable range of approaches and subjects. The College also hosts the Centre for the Interdisciplinary Study of Sexuality and Gender in Europe (CISSGE) which promotes research and teaching in Sexuality and Gender Studies across the College of Humanities. Research in CISSGE is focused broadly in three fields: Histories and Theories of Sexuality; the Body in Culture; and Feminisms and Women’s Writing (incorporating the Feminist Research Network). It analyses the foundational role of European politics, philosophy, medicine, psychiatry, art and literature in formulating current ideas about sex and gender.

If English is not your native language then you will also need to satisfy our English language entry requirements.
