Passionate about issues at the intersection of law and humanities? The University of Surrey School of Law is seeking interested applicants for the AHRC Techne studentship competition, for entry in October 2022. Studentships cover full tuition fees (whether domestic or international) and an annual stipend of £15,609. Applicants are expected to hold at least a 2:1 Bachelors degree along with a Masters degree at a minimum of a merit level in Law or other relevant discipline. For more information on entry requirements, please click HERE.

We encourage applications of potential PhD candidates who would like to pursue research in the following areas, although interested applicants should also feel free to propose topics outside these areas, having considered supervisory expertise at Surrey:

a) Philosophy of criminal law

b) Research on practical agency, rationality and law

c) Questions at the intersection of emotions, legal theory and law

d) General jurisprudence

The deadline to apply to the Surrey Law PhD course is 24 January 2022. To express interest, please contact our Director of PhD Admissions, Dr Joshua Andresen (j.andresen@surrey.ac.uk).

The Techne consortium comprises nine universities in London and the South-East and has almost 60 AHRC studentships to award each year across a range of arts and humanities disciplines, including law. Initial applications are made through member universities rather than to Techne directly. Relevant applications first undergo an internal competition at Surrey and the University then puts forward a selection of projects for the Techne competition itself.
