AHRC Doctoral Landscape Award

The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Doctoral Landscape Award recognises academic excellence and research potential at the postgraduate research level. Academic merit is the primary selection criteria. In line with UCL's commitment to equality and inclusion, the scholarship includes a supplementary widening participation (WP) element that allows students from underrepresented backgrounds to provide brief contextual information about circumstances that have shaped their academic journey. Beyond individual funding, the award supports the creation of regional training hubs that enable participating universities to share resources, deliver joint training, and exchange best practices. Through this collaboration, students can benefit from a collaborative, interdisciplinary research environment. UCL is part of the London and the East of England AHRC Doctoral Landscape Hub alongside institutions including King's College London, Birkbeck College, Queen Mary University of London, Royal College of Art, SOAS, Cambridge, University of East Anglia, University of Essex, and others.
