Migrant Futures Doctoral Studentships

Syarat kelayakan lainnya

Two doctoral studentships for entry in 2026-27. These are fully-funded studentship that may be held on a full-time (FT) or part-time (PT) basis, pro-rata, over three years (FT) and six years (PT) and are at an equivalent rate to fully-funded UKRI studentships. They cover tuition fees and an annual stipend at the yearly UKRI rate (the full-time UKRI rate for the current year 2025/26 is £22,780), together with a small annual research training and support fund.

One of the two awards for entry 2026-27 will be open to eligible home applicants who identify as migrants or refugees and from racialised ethnic minority backgrounds in any field of research and practice for which supervision is available at Goldsmiths, University of London.

The second of these two awards will be open to all eligible home or international applicants - irrespective of background and experience - whose proposed PhD is focused on a topic related to migration, broadly conceived, including in relation to processes of race and racialisation.  Proposals must be informed by the co-production of knowledge with people and groups from migrant and refugee backgrounds, and demonstrate potential for social and cultural impact.

Applicants must be new or continuing doctoral students who will not have completed more than 1 year of full-time or 2 years of part-time registration by the start of the 2025-26 academic year.

Migrant Futures Doctoral Studentships are open to home and international applicants: at least one award will be made to a home applicant with migrant or refugee experiences and from a racialised ethnic minority background.
