Description:

The Open-Oxford-Cambridge AHRC Doctoral Training Partnership (OOC DTP)
is committed to addressing under-representation in Arts and Humanities
doctoral study. In October 2021 we launched a scheme to increase the
number of studentship awards made through our standard route
competition to Black and Global Majority students ordinarily resident
in the UK.

In our 2023/24 competition, a minimum of ten awards are available for
Home fee status Black and Global Majority students applying for
doctoral study in an AHRC subject area through the Open University,
University of Oxford or University of Cambridge. A minimum of two of
these studentships will be awarded to candidates who identify as Black
or Mixed Black, Bangladeshi or Mixed Bangladeshi, and Pakistani or
Mixed Pakistani, since these groups are disproportionately
under-represented in doctoral study in the Humanities.

Note on terminology:
Global Majority refers to people who identify as Black, Asian, Mixed
and/or have been racialised as ‘ethnic minorities’; these groups
represent over 80% of the world’s population. The DTP recognises the
complex and contested nature of such collective terminology and will
continue to strive for clarity of expression in this and future
initiatives.

The Open University is pleased to offer Arts and Humanities Research
Council (AHRC) funding through the Open-Oxford-Cambridge AHRC Doctoral
Training Partnership (OOC DTP). The DTP is a consortium of three
universities underpinned by world-class research and training
environments, supported by strategic partnerships with the BBC World
Service, the National Trust and British Telecom.

The Open-Oxford-Cambridge DTP AHRC PhD studentships are available via
the Open University across all three AHRC subject classifications:
‘Histories, Cultures and Heritage’, ‘Creative and Performing Arts’,
and ‘Languages and Literature’. Full details of eligible subject areas
are in the Further Particulars (see below).  EU nationals who are
resident in the UK are advised to consult AHRC guidelines on
eligibility prior to application.

The Open University is internationally recognised for innovative
research across the Arts and Humanities. We host a number of major
AHRC- and ESRC-funded research projects.  We have a strong commitment
to cross-disciplinary work, to national and international public
engagement, and to creative partnerships with a range of
non-university partners.

Eligibility:
Students who identify as Black, Asian, Mixed and/or from a Global
Majority racial and ethnic group will be eligible to be considered for
one of these studentships.

Applicants must also meet eligibility requirements for the AHRC and
the Open-Oxford-Cambridge AHRC DTP.

Value of award:
An Open-Oxford-Cambridge AHRC DTP studentship covers university fees
in full and provides a tax-free stipend for living costs at the UKRI
rate (at least £17,668 per year).

Funding is adjusted on a pro-rata basis for part-time students and
where the award is for a period of less than 12 months in any year.

Those in receipt of studentships through this initiative will be
eligible for the same benefits as other UKRI-funded students,
including additional support for research expenses and individual
skills training, funded sick leave (up to 13 weeks in any 12 month
period), funded maternity leave, and Disability Support Allowance
(DSA).
