The Graduate School at the University of Westminster is very pleased to announce 10 new full PhD studentships funded by the Quintin Hogg Trust to begin in the academic year 2021/22 for a September or January start.

Applications are welcome to all of our Schools, as below. For any queries about any aspect of the application process or informal enquiries about where your research might fit within a School, please contact the relevant School PhD Coordinator (details below).

The University of Westminster has a strong commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion and is keen on fostering a supportive research, learning and working environment. We especially welcome applications from Black and Minority Ethnic students and applications which propose projects that engage with the decolonising and diversifying of disciplines and/or the university.

In our selection of successful applications, we will be looking in particular for the following:

• Research proposals that fit with one or more of the key themes of our Research Communities (see https://www.westminster.ac.uk/research/communities);
• Research proposals with strong inter-disciplinary potential;
• Applications which meet the university’s commitments to equality, diversity and inclusion.

The studentships will consist of: A fee waiver and an annual stipend of £17,285 (20/21 rate, raising each year in line with UKRI increases) for three years.* This includes London weighting.

Overseas applicants are welcome to apply to any PhD programme. Applicants to some schools may need to make up the fee difference between the Home fee rate and the Overseas fee rate themselves (for information on fee levels see https://www.westminster.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/research-degrees/fees-and-funding).
