Diversity100 PhD studentships

In 2020 one of the ways in which we marked 100 years since Birkbeck joined the University of London was to offer five fully funded Diversity100 studentships which were available to Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) PhD students. The Research team are pleased to announce that a number of Diversity100 PhD studentships are available again for 2021-22 entry and we are now inviting applications. These fully-funded scholarships actively address under-representation at the highest level of research and encourage BAME students to consider academic research in all disciplines.

Applicants need to submit a PhD programme application and a 250-word abstract by the closing date which is Monday 10 May.
