Sheffield AHRC Doctoral Landscape Awards 2027–2028

Description

The University of Sheffield is funding four new arts and humanities doctorates starting in October 2027. Awards last three and a half years, pro rata for part-time study, and cover the applicable tuition fees plus a stipend at the UKRI rate. The quoted GBP 21,805 figure applies to 2026–2027; the future cohort’s rate may change. International candidates may apply, but at most one award can be allocated to an overseas applicant. Students already enrolled on a doctorate before October 2027 are not eligible for this scheme. The process has two mandatory stages: submit a doctoral study application by December 14, 2026, then use its application number to request funding by February 19, 2027 at 17:00 GMT. The funding form must be completed in one sitting, with a template available for advance preparation. Research must fit the faculty’s schools, and recipients are expected to participate in cohort training and other activities.
