Midlands4Cities PhD funding opportunity

AHRC Midlands4Cities PhD funding for UK applicants – 2023/24 competition are now open

The AHRC-funded Midlands4Cities Doctoral Training Partnership (M4C) brings together eight leading universities across the Midlands to support the professional and personal development of the next generation of Arts and Humanities doctoral researchers. M4C is a collaboration between the University of Birmingham, Birmingham City University, University of Warwick, Coventry University, University of Leicester, De Montfort University, Nottingham Trent University and The University of Nottingham. 

M4C is awarding Open Doctoral and Collaborative Doctoral Awards for up to 60 doctoral researchers across the breadth of Arts and Humanities starting in October 2022 through a linked competition with a range of partner organisations in the cultural, creative and heritage sector.

The School of Archaeology and Ancient History here at the University of Leicester is inviting applications from students (current MA, graduated, mature, professional) whose research interests connect with our fields of expertise in the School. Please explore our research theme pages and staff profiles to see the wide range of expertise, specialisms and interests that we offer. If keen, do make contact soon with potential supervisors - this will enable you to put together a stronger research proposal for the competition.

The deadline for M4C funding applications is 11 January 2023 (noon), by which time applicants must have applied for a place to study and ensured that two academic references are submitted using the Midlands4Cities online reference form.
