Graduate Studentships in Drama at Queen Mary, University of London

Drama at Queen Mary, University of London is proud to offer PhD and MA awards to support graduate students in theatre and performance studies.

Drama at Queen Mary is an outstanding performance research centre in one of the United Kingdom's leading universities. In the most recent Research Assessment Exercise, QMUL Drama was the highest-rated Drama department in the United Kingdom. We have a strong focus on the cultural politics of performance, with particular emphases on live art, applied theatre, cultural histories of performance, cultural industries, and transnational performance.Queen Mary invests more than £1 million a year in awards to support graduate students in their study, and Drama's students are an important part of the college's graduate culture.

PhD Studentships

We are pleased to offer a number of Queen Mary PhD awards to full-time students, each worth more than £18,000 per year. These include tuition fee waivers (at home or overseas rate) and maintenance grants at AHRC levels. Anyone whose research can contribute to the department's strengths in the cultural politics of performance is encouraged to apply, and we particularly welcome applications for a joint studentship (shared with the School of Business and Management) in cultural industries.

MA Bursaries

We offer a number of Queen Mary MA bursaries that support study on Drama's MA in Theatre and Performance. These bursaries waive tuition fees (at Home/EU rates). As with PhD awards, Drama hopes to be able to offer AHRC MA support once the Block Grant Partnership allocation is known in February.
