Following the announcement that the White Rose College of
the Arts & Humanities (WRoCAH) has received £19m from the AHRC to establish
a Doctoral Training Partnership that will create over 300 PhD studentships and
join the expertise of the Universities of Leeds, Sheffield and York, we are
delighted to announce a range of AHRC-funded PhD opportunities in the School of
Philosophy, Religion, and History of Science.
We encourage applications for PhD study in all areas of
research expertise within the school; for more details concerning our expertise

encouraged to attend the university’s Postgraduate Open Day on 29 November 2013
(http://www.leeds.ac.uk/info/125154/),
when they will have opportunity to meet potential supervisors, current
