Dr H Morag M McCallum PhD Studentship 2026
About this scholarship
A University of Glasgow PhD studentship supporting doctoral research in classical singing, including interdisciplinary and historically or socially focused projects.
The Dr H Morag M McCallum PhD Studentship is a doctoral funding opportunity offered by the University of Glasgow, within the School of Culture & Creative Arts, for research in classical singing. It supports projects across a broad understanding of the field, including work connected to performance, pedagogy, musical works, translation, theatre, film, and the social, cultural, political, and artistic movements that shape classical singing in contemporary or historical contexts.
The studentship is intended for PhD-level study and is open to applicants from around the world. The reference posting identifies it as a funded PhD project with a tuition waiver. Proposals that explore or promote the engagement of underrepresented groups with classical singing are especially encouraged. Successful applicants join an active music research environment at Glasgow, with strengths spanning musicology, performance practices, composition and sonic arts, music industries, and ethnomusicology.
Applicants are expected to demonstrate strong academic ability, with particular attention given to the quality of previous undergraduate and postgraduate study. The university also indicates that alternative expertise or relevant experience may be considered where an applicant can clearly show readiness for doctoral research. A research proposal is central to the application and should outline the planned project, its scholarly context, and a potential supervisor or supervisory team.
The award is hosted in the United Kingdom at the University of Glasgow. Students should apply through the university's postgraduate research scholarship process and carefully follow the published guidance for this studentship and related arts and humanities research funding opportunities.
