Stuart Hall Foundation CHASE AHRC Studentships

The Consortium for the Humanities and the Arts South-East England (CHASE) in partnership with the Stuart Hall Foundation (SHF) is once again supporting two studentships for Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates from the UK to undertake doctoral research in arts and humanities. 

As well as the usual benefits of a CHASE, Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) studentship, successful awardees will benefit from working with SHF to develop their career and profile. Post holders will be able to connect with resources and networks of the Stuart Hall Foundation, including an annual gathering of Stuart Hall Foundation Scholars and Fellows, and privileged access to the work of the Foundation. 

Successful applicants will have their fees paid and receive a stipend for living expenses.

We offer funding on a full- or part-time basis to accommodate your research alongside other commitments. Additional funds are available for skills development, including language training, and to support research expenses. 

These studentships are available to start in October 2025. To apply, please see the application guidance at www.chase.ac.uk/apply 

These studentships are offered for doctoral research at the following CHASE member institutions: 

• Birkbeck, University of London
• The Courtauld Institute of Art
• Goldsmiths, University of London
• SOAS University of London
• University of East Anglia
• University of Essex
• University of Kent
