The Paul Mellon Centre are receiving applications for their MA/MPhil Studentships for 2025. Having a brief look through the details, these must be amongst some of the most generously paid out there in the world of academia. Their Instagram account explains that they only received five (!) applications last year.
According to the PMC's website:
An annual PMC MA/MPhil Studentship will be awarded to a UK-based student who qualifies for home student status embarking on Masters-level studies in the field of British art or architectural history or British visual culture. The studentship is part of the New Narratives set of funding opportunities designed to increase the diversity of perspectives among scholars within this field.
The studentship is an award of £32,000, and is designed to cover university fees and living costs.
As well as funding, recipients of the studentship will benefit from mentorship and guidance from Centre staff, and from the Doctoral Scholars and Early Careers Fellows elected under the same scheme.
The New Narratives scheme particularly welcomes applications from those who are under-represented within the academic field of the humanities in the UK.
Applications must be in by 31st January 2025.
Good luck if you're applying!
