Are you thinking of pursuing a PhD in Renaissance Studies / the Classical Tradition (including Neo-Latin literature and Renaissance art)...? The Centre for the Study of the Renaissance at the University of Warwick invites applications for the university’s annual funding competition for doctoral students, which is now open (to start in October 2015).

Outstanding candidates may be eligible to compete for Chancellor’s scholarships (overseas applicants), CADRE scholarships (home/EU PhD applicants in the Arts), or Wolfson scholarships (students embarking on PhD studies in History, Literature and Languages). The application deadline for this year’s competition is 23:59pm (GMT) on Wednesday 18th January 2017. For more details on these and other funding schemes (including some funding for Master’s degrees), see http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/academicoffice/gsp/scholarship/typesoffunding/
