ACU Routledge/Round Table Commonwealth Studentships 2025

The Routledge/Round Table Commonwealth PhD Studentships provide support for research projects on Commonwealth-related themes in the humanities and social sciences. Two studentships are available, each with a maximum value of GBP 5,500, one for PhD students registered at UK universities and one for PhD students registered at ACU member universities in Commonwealth countries other than the UK. As part of the studentship, recipients must work with a mentor at a Commonwealth university and will be expected to publish an article and produce a podcast based on their research.

Publication consideration in The Round Table journal; mandatory podcast about the research; mentorship from a university mentor in the Commonwealth.

Applications are welcomed from PhD students in a broad range of humanities and social science disciplines, with preference to topics aligned with The Round Table journal; STEM applicants are welcome only if the proposal clearly addresses a policy-related theme.
