Description:

The Department of Language and Linguistic Science at the University of York
invites applications for PhD programmes starting in October 2018.

Several funding schemes are available:
1.     AHRC funding for UK/EU students
2. ESRC funding for UK/EU students
3. Wolfson Foundation funding for students of any nationality
4. Departmental funding for students of any nationality
5. University of York scholarships and bursaries for international students

The UK Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and the UK Economic and
Social Research Council (ESRC) fund studies through collaborative doctoral
training partnerships. These partnerships are responsible for the distribution
of studentships and for the coordination of a doctoral training programme.
AHRC and ERSRC funding is available to UK students (fees + stipend of
approximately £14,500) and EU students (fees only). 
Applicants for funding must have applied for a PhD and/or Masters place at
York. Note that the application forms are detailed and require considerable
time to prepare. You should follow the online application procedure:
https://www.york.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/apply/instructions/ 

The closing deadline for all applications is Wednesday 24 January 2018, 17.00
GMT. 

1. AHRC funding

The White Rose College of the Arts & Humanities (WRoCAH) is a Doctoral
Training Partnership of the Universities of Leeds, Sheffield and York. WRoCAH
is able to offer over 50 AHRC studentships per year to candidates with a place
for doctoral study at the Universities of Leeds, Sheffield or York. Applicants
for an AHRC studentship must already have applied for a PhD programme at one
of Leeds, Sheffield or York. The AHRC funds linguistic research in a wide
range of areas. Current first year PhD students are also eligible to apply for
2 years’ funding. 

2. ESRC funding

The White Rose Social Science DTP is a partnership of seven universities. It
distributes at least 40 scholarships with funding from the ESRC. It focuses on
topic areas in the social sciences. Applications must link the proposed PhD
topic to one of seven pathway themes: Cities, Environment, and Liveability
(CEL); Security, Conflict, and Justice (SCJ); Education, Childhood, and Youth
(ECY); Data, Communication, and New Technologies (DCT); Wellbeing, Health, and
Communities (WHC); Sustainable Growth, Management, and Economic Productivity
(SMP); Civil Society, Development, and Democracy (CDD). Projects on
sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, and forensic speech science are suitable
for this scheme. 

Most students funded through this scheme take a one year MA in Social
Research, followed by a PhD. 

3. Wolfson Foundation funding

The Wolfson Foundation offers four scholarships. At least one will be in in
Languages, defined as applied languages rather than linguistics. It may
involve the study of literary or historical texts, where these are in
languages other than English. Wolfson covers tuition fees at the UK/EU or
overseas rate, as well as an annual stipend of £27,666.

4. Departmental PhD scholarship

The Department of Language and Linguistic Science offers a studentship at the
equivalent rate to the AHRC and ESRC (i.e. it covers fees at the UK/EU rate
and a scholarship of approximately £14,500). This scholarship is open to
students of all nationalities, but note that fees are covered at the EU fee
level. Non-EU students must be able to fund the difference in fees.

5. Funding for international students

For international students the University of York also offers various other
scholarships and bursaries.
