Arts & Humanities Research Council (AHRC) CHASE Collaborative Doctoral Awards

The University of Kent is proud to be part of the Consortium for the Humanities and the Arts South-East England (CHASE) offering AHRC studentships that include the opportunity for extended skills training and collaborative research. Collaborative Doctoral Awards (CDAs) are doctoral studentship projects which are developed by a university based academic working in collaboration with an organisation outside of higher education. They are intended as a way of facilitating collaboration with a diverse range of partners including smaller, regional partners. The funding provides a doctoral stipend equivalent to the Research Councils UK National Minimum Doctoral Stipend, tuition fees at the home rate, and access to further research funding. For international candidates, Kent will waive the difference between Home and International fees. Three specific research projects are currently available at Kent covering topics including coastal heritage on the Isle of Sheppey, the history of invalid furniture in the Victorian era, and the graphosphere of Westminster Abbey during the early modern period.
