About this position
The University of Kent is offering fully funded AHRC Doctoral Landscape Awards for doctoral study in the Arts and Humanities. These prestigious studentships support three doctoral researchers each year from 2026 to 2028 and are designed to help talented candidates develop ambitious, structured PhD projects within a supportive research environment.
Successful applicants will join a vibrant and inclusive academic community at the University of Kent and benefit from high-quality supervision, tailored professional development, and cross-institutional collaboration through a training hub network of eleven universities across the South East and South West of England. The scheme is intended to strengthen doctoral training, research culture, and researcher development across the participating institutions.
Awards are offered for a minimum of 3.5 years full-time equivalent, with the possibility of extending to 4 years to support placements or additional skills development. Both full-time and part-time study are eligible. Projects must be carefully structured and supervised so that the thesis can be completed and submitted within the funded period agreed at the outset.
Funding includes a doctoral stipend equivalent to the Research Councils UK National Minimum Doctoral Stipend of £21,805, home-rate tuition fees, and access to further research funding on application. This makes the opportunity a strong option for applicants seeking a comprehensive doctoral package in the humanities and related disciplines.
To apply, candidates must first apply for a PhD at Kent through an eligible discipline and consult a primary supervisor. They must then complete the Kent AHRC Landscape Award application form with supervisor support and submit it by email to the Graduate and Researcher College. The deadline is Monday 15 February 2027 at 23:59 GMT. Applicants should include the completed AHRC application form, their full name, and KentVision applicant ID number in the submission email.
This opportunity is best suited to students seeking funded doctoral research in arts and humanities fields, with access to mentoring, training, and a broad interdisciplinary network.
