Haywood Fellowship 2026

The Haywood Fellowship is a doctoral funding opportunity offered by the University of Birmingham for students in History of Art. It is designed to support campus-based PhD research in this subject and is available to both new doctoral applicants and certain current PhD students in the department.

The fellowship provides a discount at the Home tuition fee rate together with a small maintenance grant. For international students, the award typically covers the Home-fee portion of tuition, meaning successful applicants would pay any remaining difference between Home and international fees, while also receiving the maintenance grant. Funding is normally offered for up to three years, subject to annual review.

This opportunity is specifically tied to doctoral study in History of Art at the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom. It is open to Home and International applicants of any nationality. Based on the referenced postings, it is intended for students starting a PhD in September intake and may also be open to current University of Birmingham History of Art PhD students entering their second year.

Applicants are generally expected to submit a standard PhD application to the University of Birmingham and indicate that they wish to be considered for the Haywood Fellowship. The department may also ask candidates to explain how they would contribute to its research culture. Because this is a subject-specific and university-specific award, students should check the official University of Birmingham scholarship page and the relevant doctoral admissions guidance for the latest application instructions and eligibility details.
