Social Sciences Division receives major studentship funding

Oxford University has been awarded £30 million by the Arts and Humanities Research Council for graduate studentships in humanties-based subjects.

The funding, which comes through the AHRC`s new Block Grant Partnership Scheme, guarantees research awards for 407 doctoral students and 290 masters students over the next five years. The awards fall within 21 different AHRC subject areas which, in the Social Sciences Division, will be held by students in Archaeology, Area Studies, Law and Politics; in Law alone there will be 47 studentships over the next five years. All faculties in the Humanities Division will benefit, as will students of Political theory and those working in the area of political philosophy in the Department.
