What we offer
Over £2million in funding available
Recruitment to the Knowledge Orders before Modernity Doctoral Scholarships programme is now complete. This funding route is closed.
Through the generosity of the Leverhulme Trust and match-funding from the partner universities, Knowledge Orders is able to offer over the lifetime of the programme:
- up to fifteen Leverhulme doctoral scholarships (three of which can be awarded to international students)
- up to three King’s doctoral scholarships
- up to two Kent doctoral scholarships
- in addition, King’s will upgrade up to three Leverhulme doctoral scholarships so it is available to an international student
- up to three Leverhulme Master’s Plus Doctoral scholarships, which are specifically designed to promote inclusion
Each doctoral scholarship is expected to cover 3.5 years of full-time study. It includes:
- maintenance (at UKRI base levels)
- tuition fees (at UKRI base levels)
- £10,000 to be used to support the individual student’s research and training needs
Each scholar will be based at one of the two institutions that form KOM’s partnership — King’s College London and the Centre from Medieval and Early Modern Studies at the University of Kent — but will be able to draw on expertise from across the partnership. The KOM Directors will organise a roster of events to support the cohorts’ development and skills.
The programme will fund three cohorts of doctoral scholars, starting in autumn 2024, 2025, and 2026.
