The Wheeler History of Travel Writing PhD Scholarship

Eligibility Criteria:

Candidates can be of any nationality.

Applicants must:

Apply to Warwick for a History MPhil/PhD (there is no separate application process for the Wheeler studentships but candidates should indicate on their application that they wish to be considered for it).

Candidates may hold an MA at the time of application, or be working towards a Masters qualification that you will have completed by the time your PhD begins (even though the result may not be known and the final examination board may not yet have taken place).

Applicants may have come from an academic background that is not in History or a closely related subject, or might, in exceptional circumstances, have professional and/or creative experience that is highly pertinent to their proposed research but not a History MA. In such cases, the Department may require attendance at the taught MA module Theories, Skills and Methods and other elements of the MA programme deemed necessary to provide the skills, knowledge and approaches required.

Awards made for entry will include the following:

Full payment of tuition fees at the UK or O/S rate.

A maintenance stipend paid at the prevailing UKRI rate for 3.5 years.

A Research, Training and Supporting Grant (RTSG) of up to £3000 per annum for 3.5 years.

A one off £1500 conference and public engagement fund.
