Description:

The University of Westminster is now part of the Technē AHRC Doctoral Training
Partnership. The DTP has 57 PhD studentships to give out each year over the
next three years (beginning in Sept 2019) in the areas of the arts and
humanities. UK applicants are eligible for full studentships. EU students are
eligible for fees but not maintenance. Overseas students are not eligible for
techne scholarships. See http://www.techne.ac.uk/ for further details.

Here is how the Technē DTP describes its remit in terms of subject coverage:
“The technē Doctoral Training Partnership provides support across the full
range of arts and humanities disciplines, including practice and
performance-led research study, in, for example, dance, design, photography
and art, also museum studies and conservation, as well as the highest levels
of practice in analysis, critical thinking, theory and writing, from
archaeology and cultural geography to literature, linguistics, classics and
theology. Our member universities share a commitment to excellence in
specialist areas key to the future of creative economies: design; performance;
digital futures; heritage within and beyond the humanities; critical thinking
and analytic skills.” 

The Westminster Forum for Languages and Linguistics would particularly welcome
applications from prospective PhD candidates in our specialist areas in
sociolinguistics and historical linguistics:
– Historical study of the English Language
– Language and gender
– Language contact including creole languages
– Migration, exile, language and spaces
