The Homerton PhD Scholarship in German Studies

NOTE: THIS SCHEME WILL REPLACE THE SCHRÖDER-TIARKS PhD SCHOLARSHIP FOR ENTRY IN 2026-27.

This PhD Scholarship for a student admitted for doctoral study in the German Section will be offered from 1 October 2026, providing full funding over three years at UK fees level. The Scholarship is funded jointly by the Section of German and Homerton College, where the scholarship holder will take up membership. There is no separate application process. Applicants are not required to specify Homerton as their preferred college, but it is a condition of the award that successful candidates become a member of Homerton College.

The scholarship is available to candidates who are eligible for AHRC DTP funding; normally, however, it will be available only to candidates who have also applied for AHRC DLA funding at Cambridge. In the event that the successful candidate is awarded better or equal funding from another funding source, the scholarship offer will be withdrawn and offered to another candidate.
