UK Black and Global Majority Studentships in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences 2025-26

The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Queen Mary University of London offers fully funded postgraduate taught studentships to talented UK applicants from Black and Global Majority backgrounds. These studentships are designed to increase representation and opportunities for UK Black and Global Majority students who wish to pursue postgraduate degrees in the Humanities, recognizing that funding opportunities at the PGT level are particularly limited and may inhibit these students from undertaking doctoral research and following an academic career. Since 2019-20, the faculty has been offering these studentships to support graduates of Queen Mary who wish to pursue a Master's degree in any of the Primary Research Areas covered by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). The studentships include a full fee waiver and a stipend to cover living costs of £18,062. A minimum of two studentships will be awarded specifically to Black British students, as these students are disproportionately under-represented among Queen Mary home postgraduates in the Humanities. Applicants must be UK permanent residents from a Black and Global Majority background, eligible to pay UK student fees, and graduates of Queen Mary (or in their graduating year). Eligible courses include any full-time Master's programme offered by the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in disciplines covered by the AHRC, except LLM and MSc degrees in Law and Legal Studies. The studentships cover all tuition fees and provide living expenses for the full duration of the programme and cannot be deferred.
