Charities and cultural organisations

We have many PhD students who are funded by a variety of research charities and cultural organisations. For example, Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) awards have connected our students with the V&A, the National Maritime Museum and the Ragged School Museum – all here in London. We also have PhD students funded by health bodies including the Wellcome Trust, National Institutes of Health, Cancer Research UK, the British Heart Foundation, Diabetes UK and Saving faces.

Contact our Schools and Institutes to find out about their latest opportunities, or search our advertised PhD studentships. Any new funding will be advertised on our www.findaphd.com listings and these are refreshed throughout the year.
