The Birkbeck University of London offers up to 15 research studentships for Home/EU and international students which can help in the form of fee waivers. Studentships are available for M.Phil/ PhD students.  The aim of the School of Arts Research Studentships is to enable and encourage academically able students from any nationality.

Arts Research Studentships (ARS) awards take the form of a full fee waiver capped at the value of the full or part-time Home/EU rate for M.Phil/PhD degrees (currently £4,195 per annum full-time, £2,226 part-time)

• Eligible Countries: Home/EU and international students can apply for these studentships.
• Entrance Requirements: Arts Research Studentships (ARS) are open to Home/EU and International applicants applying for a full-time M.Phil/PhD place within the School of Arts, starting in the 2018/19 academic year. Applications from Home/EU students for part-time study will also be considered (at an appropriate pro-rata rate and extended duration). Exceptional School of Arts students currently enrolled in their first year of full-time, or first and second year of part-time study are also eligible to apply. Current students will not be required to interview.
