Additional Requirements

The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Queen Mary University of London is committed to increasing the representation of, and opportunities for, UK Black and Global Majority applicants who wish to pursue postgraduate degrees in the Humanities. We recognise that funding opportunities across humanities disciplines at PGT level are particularly limited, and that this may inhibit Black and Global Majority students from going on to undertake doctoral research and following an academic career. This is why we are continuing to offer HSS PGT Studentships.

To be eligible to apply for this Studentship you must:

  • have been accepted for entry on a full time Master's degree offered by the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in any of the disciplines covered by the AHRC (except LLM and MSc degrees in Law and Legal Studies)
  • be a UK permanent resident from a Black and Global Majority background, and eligible to pay UK student fees
  • be a graduate of Queen Mary (or about to graduate from Queen Mary in 2023).

The studentships cover all tuition fees and provide a stipend for living expenses at UK Research Council Rates (£18,062). Awards are made for the full duration of the period of fee liability for the agreed course. Please note that these awards cannot be deferred.

How to Apply

To apply you will need to provide:

  • A copy of your offer letter to study a relevant Master's course at Queen Mary, or your application ID number if you do not yet know the outcome of your application
  • A copy of your digital transcript (showing marks and grades obtained as a student at Queen Mary)
  • A completed application form, including a short statement of no more than 500 words detailing why you should be considered for the award and what motivated your interest in a Master's degree at Queen Mary.

Your completed application form and required supporting details should be emailed to [email protected] by 12 noon on Monday 31 July 2023.
