WRoCAH funding
The White Rose College of the Arts & Humanities (WRoCAH) is a Doctoral Training Partnership of the Universities of Leeds, Sheffield and York. The College is responsible for the distribution of AHRC-funded doctoral studentships for these universities.
Applications for 2025/26 are closed.
WRoCAH funding includes a full fee waiver at the home rate, and a stipend at the UKRI rate. They have around 38 AHRC studentships that will be awarded through open competition.
You can make one application for funding through the open competition at either Leeds, Sheffield or York. Projects are welcome from all departments, not just Arts and Humanities, so long as the research falls within the remit of the AHRC.
