The AHRC funds
Please note that this year the AHRC is limiting the number of applications from Universities. This makes an already competitive process even more competitive. Normally, School Policy is to support applications from candidates who have or are expected to get a good first degree (upper second or higher) for the Master's scheme and an MA for the Doctoral Scheme. There is no guarantee that an application will be supported by the University but we would hope to support as many applications as possible.
