School of History, Archaeology and Religion - Jameel PhD Scholarship scheme

The Centre for the Study of Islam in the UK is now inviting applications for Cardiff University’s Jameel Scholarship scheme.

Founded in 2005, the Islam-UK Centre works towards the promotion of better understanding of Islam and the life of Muslims in Britain, through high quality teaching and research. Its activities address issues which are central to the situation of Muslims in contemporary Britain. The Centre provides unique training and research opportunities for those seeking onward employment in a range of academic and non-academic careers.

With the help of a very generous gift, the Jameel Scholarships have been established to enable the very best students to come to Cardiff University – those who have the intellect and determination to apply their knowledge for the benefit of Muslim communities in the UK, and to promote better understanding of Islam in wider society. Application deadline for the scholarship is 13th of June 2022

We are seeking exceptional UK resident applicants with a First Class or high Upper Second-Class Honours Degree or master’s degree. Research proposals are invited on topics that clearly align with the research interests and expertise of staff at the Islam-UK Centre. Proposals must demonstrate exceptional academic merit, potential and relevance to Muslims in the UK.  

One three-year PhD scholarship is available comprising full UK tuition fees for the Religious & Theological Studies programme, a £15,896 annual stipend and £2,500 per year towards research costs.
