ROUTLEDGE/ROUND TABLE COMMONWEALTH STUDENTSHIPS

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: 31 July 2025, 15:00 UTC

LOCATION: United Kingdom

The Routledge/Round Table Commonwealth PhD Studentships provide support for research projects on Commonwealth-related themes in the humanities and social sciences.

ELIGIBILITY:

Proposed research must meet at least one of the following criteria: 

Relate to the Commonwealth as a whole or to any Commonwealth-wide institution or organisation.

Have a Commonwealth comparative aspect.

Be of relevance to more than one Commonwealth country.

Successful applicants will be required to submit an article of between 4,000 and 6,000 words based on their research, for consideration for publication in The Round Table journal. They will also be required to make a podcast on their research, for publication on the journal’s website. 

Applications are welcomed from a broad range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences.

Preference may be given to disciplines usually covered by The Round Table journal, including (but not exclusively) politics, international relations, economics, international history, geography, law, development studies, and area studies. 

Applicants from STEM will not be accepted unless the research proposal clearly addresses a policy-related theme. 

It is not expected that the applicant’s PhD/DPhil research already has a Commonwealth focus. Applications are particularly welcomed where the award will enable the applicant to add a Commonwealth dimension to the work. 

Review the application guidance page.

Download the application form in either PDF or Word format.

Complete the application form.

Send the completed form and a current CV to secretary@commonwealthroundtable.co.uk

For more information about the Routlege/Round Table Commonwealth Studentship Awards and award recipients, please visit the studentships page on The Round Table website. 

BENEFIT:

Two studentships are available, each with a maximum value of GBP 5,500: 

One for PhD students registered at UK universities.

One for PhD students registered at ACU member universities in Commonwealth countries other than the UK. 

The mentor will also be expected to contribute to either the podcast or the article that the student is expected to produce at the end of the studentship and will be paid an honorarium of £500 GBP, payable at the end of the studentship.
