About the Project

The Faculty of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences is launching its UK Global Majority studentship for 2025/26. We recognise the sector-wide underrepresentation of UK Global Majority – sometimes referred to as Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) – students at PhD level in Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, and the Studentship represents our commitment to expanding the opportunities for the most able students irrespective of background or financial circumstances.   

The PhD studentship is available to UK Global Majority backgrounds candidates only*

* Global Majority refers to people who are Black, Asian, Brown, dual-heritage, whose heritage is indigenous to the global south, and/or have been referred to as ‘ethnic minorities’
