PhD Scholarship in Theology and Religion

Overview

The Department of Theology and Religion is offering excellent funding opportunities for exceptional researchers across a range of subjects in the area of Theology and Religious 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 Theology and Religion at the University of Exeter is a growing, collaborative, research community committed to providing an excellent interdisciplinary environment for postgraduate students. The Department has strengths in biblical studies, inter-testamental studies, Patristics, ethics and applied theology, theology and contemporary issues and theology and embodiment.

Interchange between the disciplines provides a stimulating and supportive environment for research. Key research themes include scriptural hermeneutics, applied theology, environmental ethics, theological aesthetics and the role of theology in the public sphere. There is also a cluster of work on placing religious texts from the Eastern Mediterranean in their religious, social and political contexts.

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