There are no restrictions on areas of research/disciplines/Schools within which candidates for the SHF-QMUL HSS Principal’s Studentship intend to pursue their studies. As long as the eligibility criteria are met, students applying (or that are already enrolled in their first year) to any School within the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences can also apply for the SHF-QMUL HSS Principal’s Studentship.

The Stuart Hall Fellowships offer up to six fellowships at the Scottish Graduate School for Arts and Humanities and the Scottish Graduate School for Social Science. The fellowships provide opportunities for UK candidates from non-traditional and disadvantaged backgrounds, under-represented at graduate level in the Arts and Humanities and the Social Sciences in Scotland. Applicants whose planned research aligns broadly with one of Stuart Hall’s interest areas such as cultural studies, race, ethnicity and inequalities, are preferred.

M7 Scholars

The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust are a specialist mental health trust with a focus on training and education alongside a full range of mental health services and psychological therapies for children and their families, young people and adults. The Stuart Hall Foundation/Tavistock studentship is aimed at widening access to the M7 course and to the Child Psychotherapy clinical training at the Tavistock Centre, with applications invited from students who identify as Black, Asian or of Mixed Heritage. The bursary can contribute to the student’s fees up to Post Graduate Diploma qualification, and also to the cost of psychoanalytic psychotherapy fees in order to support a student should they wish subsequently to apply for a training in Child and Adolescent Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (M80). 

White Rose Doctoral Training Partnership (WRDTP)

CJ Simon, Ruth Akindele
2023 – 25 PhD Scholars

PhD studentships support black British students studying for a PhD in the White Rose Doctoral Training Partnership (WRDTP) and cover UK tuition fees, a stipend and a research training support grant. The scholarships can be held in any of the 7 institutions of the WRDTP. The successful candidates will undertake research projects that focus on one of Stuart Hall’s many areas of interest: cultural studies, race, ethnicity and/or inequalities, and their work will align with one of the DTP’s seven thematic interdisciplinary pathways.

We wish them all a warm welcome and very best wishes with their research.
