The Alexander and Dixon Scholarship (Bryce Bequest)

Fees-only scholarships for the PhD in English Literature

This studentship is available only to UK students and EU nationals applying also to the AHRC for PhD funding. Candidates from outside the EU are not eligible for this award.

The PhD in English Literature is designed as a three-year supervised research degree (which may also be taken part-time) for students with a good Honours degree in English Literature, usually combined with a Taught Masters in the subject. Holders of this award will be encouraged to apply for teaching positions in the Department once their PhD is underway.

Details of the PhD programme in English Literature are available online: Ph.D.
