AHRC Doctoral Landscape Awards

Course overview
The Faculty of Arts and Humanities is delighted to announce that for the academic year 2026/27 we are offering three fully funded AHRC Doctoral Landscape Awards. Each award provides funding for 3.5 years (or part-time equivalent), covering tuition fees and a stipend at the UKRI minimum rate. An optional additional six months of funding will also be available for employability-related activities such as industry placements or specialist training.
Applicants are invited to propose their own research projects. Priority will be given to innovative, well-developed proposals that engage with one of UEA’s core interdisciplinary research themes: CreativeUEA, ClimateUEA, or HealthUEA. We invite applications across a range of doctoral pathways, including written theses, creative-critical PhDs, and professional practice doctorates.
