PhD funding for European/UK students at Newcastle is provided by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and is described as a part of the Northern Bridge Consortium of North Eastern and Northern Irish universities. Details may be found here: https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/BWU597/phd-studentships-in-the-arts-and-humanities-for-2020-entry

Please identify a potential supervisor or supervisory team first, speak to them, and then apply as soon as possible for the degree with Newcastle University.

The University decides on which applications to nominate for AHRC funding in early January, so all applications must be in by then, and students must be readily available in January and February to work closely on the funding application with us.

The ‘Thinking Differently in Philosophy’ Conference run on the 22nd of November was an interesting event in which eight speakers presented on the topic of thinking differently.

Thanks to all of the speakers, including our two guests, Tom Moynihan and Enrico Monacelli, and our six student speakers, many of whom were presenting in public for the first time.

We hope to run similar events in future years, giving our students the chance to see young thinkers in action, and to participate in formal academic events themselves.

Sorry that the original talk had to be cancelled. It’s now been rescheduled to November 28th. But then cancelled again due to Industrial action. Many apologies.
