About ACU Routledge/Round Table Commonwealth Studentships Program
The Routledge/Round Table Commonwealth PhD Studentships provide support for research projects on Commonwealth-related themes in the humanities and social sciences.
Benefits of ACU Routledge/Round Table Commonwealth Studentships Program
Two studentships are available each with a maximum value of GBP 5,500:
- One for PhD students registered at UK universities.
- One for PhD students registered at ACU member universities in Commonwealth countries other than the UK.
ACU Routledge/Round Table Commonwealth Studentships Program Requirements
- Applications are welcomed from a broad range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences.
- Preference may be given to disciplines usually covered by The Round Table journal, including (but not exclusively) politics, international relations, economics, international history, geography, law, development studies, and area studies.
- Applicants from STEM will not be accepted unless the research proposal clearly addresses a policy-related theme.
- It is not expected that the applicant’s PhD/DPhil research already has a Commonwealth focus. Applications are particularly welcomed where the award will enable the applicant to add a Commonwealth dimension to the work.
